Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating

Material uncertainty over going concern
The trade and assets of Pharmareview Limited have been hived up into IQVIA Ltd on 1 July 2025. It is therefore not considered appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
