Notes to the Financial Statements |
|
Year ended 31 December 2023
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Unit 2 Rutland Business Park, Newark Road, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 5WA.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
(a)
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
(b)
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of membership income, training income, events held during the year, advertising and publication sales, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.
(c)
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
(d)
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
(e)
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
|
Office equipment |
- |
33% reducing balance |
|
|
|
|
(f)
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
(g)
Financial instruments
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, bank deposits and trade creditors. Trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amounts receivable from a customer or payable to a supplier, which is normally the invoice amount. Trade debtors are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss. Bank deposits are also measured at the undiscounted amounts held on deposit at the end of the reporting period.
4.
