Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 30 April 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Warners Solicitors LLP is registered in Scotland. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

There have been no material misstatements from the accounting standards applicable.

These financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023 comply with Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Turnover
Turnover is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable for services supplied to customers in the normal course of business, adjusted for work in progress, net or value added tax. The principal turnover stream of the company is providing legal and estate agency services; the policy is to recognise a sale when chargeable services have been supplied to the customer.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 33% on cost and 25% on reducing balance

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Work in progress
Work in progress represents the value of unbilled work done and is stated at recoverable amount.

Work in progress has been included in sales in the profit and loss account.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Differences between contributions payable and contributions actually paid during the year are shown in accruals.

Taxation
The taxation payable on the partnership profits is the personal liability of the members during the year and consequently neither taxation nor related deferred taxation are accounted for in the financial statements. Amounts retained for members' personal tax liabilities are treated in the same way as other profits of the partnership and so are included in "Members' interests".

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Operating leases
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expenses are shown within motor expenses.

Going concern
As in the normal course of business we have reviewed our activities, together with the factors likely to affect our future development and position. As a result of our current cash reserves and the financial forecasts, we expect to generate positive cash flows for the foreseeable future and therefore the Members have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. In making their assessment the Members have considered a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
