When I came here, the prior financials were presented in pounds sterling. However, even for the 2016 annual report, the company noted that their reporting currency was US dollars (page 29, bottom of page, of the 2016 report). Likewise for the 2018 report, the reporting currency is US dollars - page 70 "Functional and presentation currency", link to report, used in citation. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:18, 3 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

The article uses "Accesso" (capitalized) throughout the body text. The company's official trademark styling is accesso (all lowercase), consistent across its website, all press releases, and regulatory filings (RNS via Investegate) since rebranding from Lo-Q plc in 2014.

Per WP:TM, where reliable sources consistently reflect a company's trademark styling, that convention may be followed in body text. The article title may need to remain "Accesso" per WP:NCCAPS, but body text references should use lowercase "accesso."
