NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Moore Global Network Limited is a |
These financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (GBP), as that is the currency in which the majority of the Company's transactions are denominated. They comprise the financial statements of the Company for the year from 01 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. |
The Company has determined that GBP is its functional currency, as this is the currency of the economic environment in which the Company predominantly operates. |
The principal activity of the Company is co-ordinating and helping the professional practices of member firms worldwide using the name "Moore" in providing audit, advisory, managerial and consultancy services to companies, individuals and firms. |
1.1 GOING CONCERN |
The company has reported a surplus for the year of £241,633 (2022: £157,982) and has net reserves amounting to £1,168,116 (2022: £926,483). In addition, the company also has reasonable cash balances at the balance sheet date. |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors are confident in the resilience of the business and its financial security, supported by a robust cash position, and believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
2.1 Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2.1.2). |
The following principal accounting policies have been applied: |
2.1.1 Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
2.1.2 Critical accounting judgements & key source of estimation uncertainty |
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. |
Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates. |
Due to the simplicity of the Company's transaction streams and year-end financial position, the directors consider there to be no critical judgements, estimates or assumptions in the preparation of these financial statements. |
2.2 Turnover |
Turnover represents subscription and other fees receivable from the network and its member firms, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts. |
2.3 Valuation of investments |
Investments in subsidiaries are measured on a fair value basis. |
Intangible fixed assets |
The company owns private property rights on two seats at a performance venue in London, which was originally granted with a 999 year lease. The box was purchased in 1985 and has not been recognised as an asset of the company historically. |
The directors have recognised the asset at an original cost of £4,000. The cost of the asset is amortised over the period of the private property rights. |
In 2022, the company capitalised an internally generated software platform which will be used by the company and its members. |
Initial recognition - Costs associated with internally generated intangible fixed assets are capitalised where it is probable that expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably FRS 102 Section 18 paragraph 18.4. |
Subsequent recognition - As there is no active market for the asset it is not permitted to carry it at fair value (FRS 18.18B) thus the asset is carried at cost less amortisation and impairment. |
Amortisation - The software platform is amortised over its useful economic life, in accordance with FRS 18.23a its residual value has assumed to be zero. |
The directors reassess the asset's useful economic life annually, and where necessary amend the amortisation charge by spreading the net book value as at the time of the reassessment evenly over the remaining useful economic life. |
The current economic life is deemed to be 5 years. |

2.4 Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially measured at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction which includes transaction costs for financial instruments not subsequently measured at fair value. |
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured as set out below. A financing transaction is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Classification |
Financial instruments are classified as either ‘basic’ or ‘other’ in accordance with Chapter 11 of FRS 102. |
Subsequent measurement |
Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade debtors and trade payables are recognised at the undiscounted amount owed by the customer or to the supplier, which is normally the invoice amount. |
2.5 Taxation |
Tax is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date in the countries where the company operates and generates income. |
Factors affecting tax charge for the year |
There was no UK corporation tax charge on the surplus for the year or the prior year. |
Factors that may affect future tax charges |
The company is considered for tax purposes as a "mutual trader" such that it is not subject to corporation tax on the basis that its costs are met by its members each year. Accordingly, no taxation (other than on interest income) or deferred taxation is accounted for. |
2.6 Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. |
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. |
Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss account. |

2.7 Pensions |
Defined contribution pension plan |
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. |
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the income statement when they fall due. |
Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. |
2.8 Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
2.9 Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
2.10 Creditors |
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. |
2.11Revenue recognition |
The Company recognises revenues from subscriptions and other fees receivable when earned and collection is reasonably assured. Deferred revenues are recorded for subscriptions received that have not yet been earned. Upfront fees are recognised over the estimated period that the related services are performed. |
