NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The company is limited by shares and incorporated in England within the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office is 7 The Close, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 4DJ. The principle place of business is Norwich, Norfolk.
The company's principal activity is the provision of security services.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable hat the economic benefits will flow to the compan and the turnover can be measured reliably. Turnover is measured as the value of the cash received or receivable, excluding discounts and value added tax.
Turnover from a contract to provide security services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided and when all of the following conditions can be measured reliably:
- the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the company will receive the cash due under the security contract;
- the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
- the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees.
Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of timing differences that have originated but
not reversed by the balance sheet date.
Current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 33 (2023 - 35).
