Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
Turnover
Turnover represents the fair value of professional services provided during the period to clients. Turnover is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is earned. Fair value reflects the amount expected to be recoverable from clients and is based on time spent, skills and expertise provided and expenses incurred, but excludes VAT.
Turnover that has been recognised but not invoiced by the balance sheet date is included in debtors in 'accrued income'. Amounts invoiced in advance are included in 'accruals and deferred income'.
In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.
Goodwill
Positive purchased goodwill arising on acquisitions is capitalised, classified as an asset on the Balance Sheet and amortised over its useful economic life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful
life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed five years. Useful
ecomonic lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and revised if necessary, subject to the
constraint that the revised life shall not exceed 20 years from the date of acquisition. The carrying amount
at the date of revision is depreciated over the revised estimate of remaining useful economic life.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over
the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Goodwill-over 10 years
Hire purchase agreements
Assets held under hire purchase agreements are capitalised and disclosed under tangible fixed
assets at their fair value. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability and
the interest is charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis.
Operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The annual contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not
reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that
will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with
the following exceptions:
Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments)
of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement
assets, only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose
of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available
evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled
over into replacement assets and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the director considers that it is more
likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the
underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected
to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Fixed Assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Financial Instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.
