Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Knox Cropper LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Turnover represents amounts earned under a wide variety of contracts to provide professional services, when and to the extent the LLP obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance under the contracts. It is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, including expenses and disbursements, but excluding VAT, by reference to the stage of completion.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 33% on cost

Stocks
Stocks comprise work in progress, which is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Increases in annual rentals following rent reviews are recognised over the remaining lease term from the time they take effect. The value of lease incentives received is recognised in the Profit and Loss account so as to reduce the rental expense on a straight line basis over the contracted term of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
The Members are satisfied that the LLP has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. This has been determined by a review of cash flow forecasts and trading performance for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty or notice.

Taxation
Income tax payable on all LLP profits is solely the personal liability of individual members. Consequently, neither income tax nor related deferred taxation is accounted for in the financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Provisions and contingencies
Provision is made for obligations in relation to properties held under leases which require properties to be returned in a certain condition at the end of the lease where it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the LLP and amount can be estimated reliably.

Provision is made, on a case by case basis, in respect of client claims. Provision is made for all such matters where costs of defending or concluding claims are likely to be incurred, net of anticipated related insurance recoveries.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligations, discounted to their present values if the time value of money is significant.

Contingent liabilities, including liabilities that are not probable or which cannot be measured reliably, are not recognised, but are disclosed unless the possibility of settlement is remote. Contingent assets are not recognised, but are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

3. EMPLOYEE INFORMATION

The average number of employees during the year was 36 (2022 - 32 ) .
