Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 incorporating Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

General information and basis of accounting

The limited liability partnership is incorporated in under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000. The address of the registered office is given on the limited liability partnership information page.

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The functional currency of Paddle & Cocks LLP is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the limited liability partnership operates. Foreign operations are included in accordance with the policies set out below.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover in respect of client service contracts represents the right to consideration earned for the
provision of legal services excluding VAT.

Services provided to clients during the period which at the balance sheet date have not been invoiced to clients, have been recognised in turnover. Turnover recognised is based on an assessment of the fair value of services provided by the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total value of the engagement. Revenue is not recognised on those engagements where the right to receive payment is contingent on factors outside the control of the LLP. Unbilled revenue is included within debtors.

Members' remuneration and division of profits

Profits are automatically allocated to members. They are therefore shown as "Members' remuneration
charged as an expense" in the Profit and Loss account in the relevant year. To the extent that they
remain unpaid at the year end, they are included within "Loans and other debts due to members" in
the Balance Sheet.

Unallocated profits and losses are included within Other Reserves.

Taxation

The taxation payable on the partnership's profits is the personal liability of the members. Consequently, neither partnership taxation nor related deferred taxation is accounted for in these financial statements.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Computer equipment

33% straight line basis

Fixtures and fittings

25% reducing balance basis

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial instruments are recognised when the LLP becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cashflows from the asset expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the LLP's obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

The LLP holds the following financial instruments, all of which meet the conditions to be classified as basic instruments:

Bank loans
Short term debtors and creditors

Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment judgements.
