- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“LPFE is a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Edinburgh Council and is responsible for providing staffing resources to administer the Lothian Pension Funds under an intra-group resourcing agreement. Company income is guaranteed and will always have the ability to meet its outgoing expenses, so directors adopt the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In the event that all the staff involved in the variable pay arrangements at 31 March 2026 remain in the company's employment there is a contingent liability of £500,520 in excess of the current and non-current liabilities, as recognised in these financial statements in accordance with IAS19. This amount would be payable over two years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
