- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”

Significant events
- “During the period the Group made charitable donations totalling £305,000 (2024 – £323,000). It did not make any political donations in either period.”
- “On 1 March 2025 the activities of the Hong Kong entity of CMS Hasche Sigle were merged with that of the Group's Hong Kong entity and the entity renamed as CMS Hong Kong LLP.”
- “Subsequent to the period end, a buy in arrangement was reached with a leading insurer in respect of the two closed defined benefits pension schemes. It is anticipated that members' benefits will be bought out within the next 24 months, and thereafter the two closed defined benefits pension schemes will be wound-up.”
- “On 5th June 2025 the Government announced that they will pass legislation to allow affected pension schemes to obtain retrospective actuarial confirmation... Given the remaining uncertainties the Firm considers that the amount of any potential impact on the defined benefit obligations cannot be confirmed and/or measured with sufficient reliability.”
