published 24 January 2012

The new financial year has got off to a satisfactory start at accountancy software giant Sage, with trading since the beginning of October in line with expectations for the full year.

"We are confident that the business priorities, on which we are focused to drive growth, will bear fruit as the year progresses but we remain watchful of the European environment in particular," said Guy Berruyer, Chief Executive of Sage, in an otherwise terse trading statement.
