Why Access Holdings may delay first-half results

Why Access Holdings may delay first-half results

Access Holding Plc, a multinational financial services group, has explained the potential delay in the filing and publication of its unaudited financial statements for the first half of 2024.

According to a statement by the company, the delay is endangered by the complexity of the post-completion of the audit activities of the newly acquired sub-subsidiaries of the banking group.

“Given the foregoing, the Nigerian Exchange Limited has approved an extension of time to file the results on or before September 20, 2024, subject to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s approval of the results,” the statement said.

It added that the bank’s insiders are reminded that the earlier declared close period in respect of transactions on its insecurities remains in place until 24 hours after the release of the results.

Access Holdings offers commercial banking, lending, payment, insurance, and asset management services.
