Basis of preparing the financial statements |

Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies and with Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities |
(Effective January 2015). |

Accounting convention |

Turnover represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to |
consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due. |
|
Where a contract has only been partly completed at the balance sheet date turnover represents the value of the |
services provided to date based on a proportion of the total expected consideration at completion.Where |
payments are received in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and |
included as part of creditors due within one year. |

balance sheet date. |
|

recognise revenue over the time of a contract as it progresses with reference to the value of the work performed |
and with regard to contractual obligations. Work in progress is shown as "amounts recoverable on contracts". |
