2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is the amount derived from ordinary activities and is stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and net of VAT. |
The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: |
Rendering of services - letting fees and management commission are recognised in the month to which they relate. Other services are recognised as they occur and are completed. |
Interest receivable - interest is recognised when it is received. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amounts paid in connection with the acquisition of businesses in the year ended 31 August 2021 and 31August 2023, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of three years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Short leasehold | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. |
Trade debtors and trade creditors have no stated interest rate and are receivable or payable within one year. They are recorded at transaction price with any losses from impairment being recognised in profit or loss. |
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price, including transaction costs. Basic loans are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate less impairment. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws ruling at the balance sheet date. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws ruling at the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Operating leases |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Where the company has paid in excess of the amounts due during the reporting period, that excess is recognised in current assets. Where amounts are owed to the pension scheme those amounts are recognised in current liabilities at the reporting date. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise current balances with banks and similar institutions, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reasonably estimated. |
