Material uncertainty over going concern
The conditions that are set out in note 1.2 result in a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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

Significant events
- “CILEx Regulation Limited (CRL) had another successful year as it implemented the final year of its three year Business Strategy, published in 2021.”
- “In November 2024, CRL published its new three-year strategy.”
- “The Undertakings resulting from the Legal Services Board's investigation into disputes between CILEX and CRL published in April 2023 included agreement that CRL should hold its own contingency reserves.”
- “It was agreed between the two parties that CILEX would transfer £700,000 to CRL by 31 March 2024 at the latest. As at the date of this report the transfer of contingency reserves remains outstanding and this amount is therefore not recognised in these financial statements.”
