Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern

Affirmed

“These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. Diligent Boardbooks Limited remains integral to the future growth of the EMEA region for the Group. The company actively manages its liquidity and solvency position to ensure it meets it short and long-term funding requirements. The directors of the company are committed to the long-term viability of the EMEA operations and have strategically committed to investing in the region in the foreseeable future. The Company's ultimate parent company, Diamond Parent Holdings Corp. has given a letter of support confirming it has the ability to and will provide continuing financial support to enable the Company to meet its obligation as and when they fall due for a period until 30 September 2026. Based on this information and on enquiries, the directors believe that Diamond Parent Holdings Corp., the ultimate parent company, has the ability to provide financial support to the Company until 30 September 2026 and therefore the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern period to 30 September 2026. Accordingly, they have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.”
