STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
- 1 -

The Directors present their Strategic report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

 

Tascor Services Limited ('the Company') is a wholly owned subsidiary (indirectly held) of Capita plc. Capita plc, along with all its subsidiaries' is hereafter referred to as 'the Group'. The Company operates within the Capita Public Services divisions of the Group.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of the provision of business process outsourcing services to the criminal justice sector. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's principal activities in the year under review other than the impact of loss of a material customer contract following the termination in October 2023 and services provided by the company ceased. The Directors are not aware, at the date of this report, of any likely major changes in the Company's activities in the next year.

Review of the business

As shown in Company's income statement on page 9, revenue has marginally decreased from £12,292,267 in 2022 to £12,281,499 in 2023. On the contrary, Company's operating loss has decreased from £1,586,271 in 2022 to profit of £107,267 in 2023. This is mainly because of termination of a material customer contract referred to in principal activities for which allowance of doubtful debts and other related costs were comparatively higher in 2022.

 

In addition, the operating profit is also impacted by the recharges from Capita Shared Services Limited (‘CSSL’) in the current year since towards the end of 2022 the Group reorganised its technology software and solutions business and group support services business by transferring the underlying trade and assets from various Group companies in the UK into CSSL. The principal activity of CSSL’s is the provision of certain head office and shared services, such as finance and HR support, payroll, IT and software services, to other companies within the Group. CSSL recovers the cost of providing these shared services by charging the Group companies that benefit from them, including the Company. Prior to the aforementioned reorganisation, the charges for the provision of these services were lower.

The balance sheet on pages 10 to 11 of the financial statements shows the financial position at the year end. Net liabilities have decreased from £1,155,447 in 2022 to £1,115,516 in 2023 on account of profit generated during the year.

Details of the amounts owed by/to its parent company and fellow subsidiary companies are shown in notes 8 and 9 to the financial statements.

 

The key financial performance indicators used by the Group, on a consolidated basis, are adjusted revenue, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted basic/diluted earnings per share, free cash flow excluding business exits, and gearing ratios. The Group manages its operations on a divisional basis and consequently, some of these indicators are monitored at a divisional level. The performance of the Capita Public Service divisions of the Group is discussed in the Group’s annual report which does not form part of this report.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Company is exposed to a wide range of risks that, should they materialise, could have a detrimental impact on financial performance, reputation or operational resilience. The Company’s risk management framework provides a consistent approach to the identification, assessment, monitoring and reporting of risks and opportunities. The risk management process is based on risk registers and risk reporting at the established risk governance committees. Key risks are documented in the risk registers and have assigned risk owners who review them regularly, and report on them at least quarterly, as part of the risk reporting process. The strength of existing controls is evaluated to determine whether any further mitigating actions are needed to manage the risk level to within the risk appetite set by the Board.

 

The principal risks for the Company are:

 

Profitable growth

Attract new clients and retain existing clients on appropriate commercial terms.

 

Contract performance

Deliver services to clients in line with contractual and legal obligations.

 

Innovation

Innovate and develop new customer value propositions with speed and agility.

 

People attraction and retention

Attract, develop, engage and retain the right talent.

 

Financial stability

Maintain financial stability and achieve financial targets.

 

Cyber security

Protect our systems, networks and programs from unauthorised use and access.

 

ESG

Comply with regulatory and contractual requirements to drive a purpose driven organisation with the right focus on governance.

 

Safety and Health

Protect the safety, health and duty of care of all Capita’s employees, the people we work with and those affected by our acts and omissions.

 

Data governance and data privacy

Manage our data effectively (both clients and Capita) as a strategic asset across the organisation.

 

As a subsidiary of Capita plc, the Company is subject to controls and risk governance techniques applied across all the Group's businesses. Details of the specific risk assessments and mitigating actions are outlined on pages 57-63 of the Group's 2023 Annual Report.

Section 172 statement

Capita plc’s section 172 statement applies to the Company to the extent it relates to the Company’s activities. Common policies and practices are applied across the Group through divisional management teams and a common governance framework. The following disclosure describes how the Directors have regard to the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f) and forms the Directors’ statement as required under section 414CZA of the Companies Act 2006.

 

Further details of the Group’s approach to each stakeholder are provided in Capita plc’s section 172 statement on pages 45, 46 and 47 of Capita plc’s 2023 Annual Report.

 

Our People

 

Why they are important

They deliver our business strategy; they support the organisation to build a values-based culture; and they deliver our products and services ensuring client satisfaction.

 

What matters to them

Flexible working; learning and development opportunities leading to career progression; fair pay and benefits as a reward for performance; and two-way communication and feedback.

 

How we engaged

 

Topics of engagement

 

Outcomes and actions

The 2023 employee survey showed key indices had either improved or remained steady with a five-point increase in the eNPS compared with 2022. 63% of colleagues who responded felt proud to work at Capita. We are developing and delivering a range of action plans, including ensuring our leaders feel confidence in, and ownership of Capita’s strategy, plans and successes, developing inclusive opportunities for internal career mobility.

 

In December 2023, the Board agreed that while the appointment of employee directors had been successful, it was appropriate for the Board to consider a wider level of engagement with colleagues, including site visits arranged for individual directors to meet with local management and colleagues at Capita’s businesses. In addition, the Board has appointed Nneka Abulokwe as the designated non-executive director to engage with colleagues. Adolfo Hernandez, our new CEO, has also commenced a series of breakfast sessions to meet with colleagues of differing seniority and at different locations throughout the Group. Janine Goodchild stepped down from the Board as an employee director on 31 December 2023.

 

The UK real living wage increase was applied from 1 April 2023. At the end of 2023, we took the difficult decision to withdraw from the UK’s real living wage. Since 2020, the Group has increased the salaries of our lowest earners by 22% and the 2024 real living wage increase of 10.1% was not something we could commit to given the need for Capita to remain cost competitive and reflecting the fact that this is not a cost we are able to pass on to clients.

Accounting policies
1.1
Basis of preparation

Tascor Services Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales.

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company’s Directors (‘the Directors’) are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. The Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having undertaken a rigorous assessment of the financial forecasts, key uncertainties, and sensitivities, as set out below.

Accounting standards require that ‘the foreseeable future’ for going concern assessment covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, although those standards do not specify how far beyond twelve months the Directors should consider. In its going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the period from the date of approval of these financial statements to 31 December 2025 (‘the going concern period’) and which aligns to the period considered by the Directors of the ultimate parent company, Capita plc.

Board assessment

The financial forecasts used for the going concern assessment are derived from financial projections for 2024-2025 for the Company which have been subject to review and challenge by management and the Directors. The Directors have approved the projections.

 

Inter-dependency with Capita plc ('the Group')

The Director’s assessment of going concern has considered the extent to which the Company’s ability to remain a going concern is inter-dependent with that of the Group. The Company has dependency with the Group in respect of the following:

 

Despite the Company being in a net liability and net current liability the ultimate parent undertaking, Capita plc, has stated that it will provide continuing financial support as necessary and to the extent it is able to do so.

The financial projections are dependent on the Group providing additional financial support over the period to 31 December 2025 (the ‘going concern period’) and not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due, which at 31 December 2023 amounts to £2,288,271. The Group has indicated its intention to provide financial support to the Company in order to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due, but only to the extent that money is not otherwise available to the Company to meet such liabilities.

As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.

Given the reliance the Company has on the Group, the Directors have considered the financial position of the ultimate parent undertaking as disclosed in its most recent condensed consolidated financial statements, being for the six months period ended 30 June 2024.

Ultimate parent undertaking – Capita plc

The Capita plc Board (‘the Board’) concluded that it was appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having undertaken a rigorous assessment of the financial forecasts, key uncertainties, sensitivities, and mitigations when preparing the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board on 1 August 2024 and are available on the Group’s website (www.capita.com/investors). Below is a summary of the position at 1 August 2024:

Accounting standards require that ‘the foreseeable future’ for going concern assessment covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements, although those standards do not specify how far beyond twelve months a Board should consider. In its going concern assessment, the Board has considered the period from the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements to 31 December 2025, which aligns with a period end and covenant test date for the Group.

The base case financial forecasts used in the going concern assessment are derived from financial projections for 2024-2025 business plans as approved by the Board in June 2024.

The going concern assessment considers the Group’s sources and uses of liquidity and covenant compliance throughout the period under review.

Board Assessment

Under the base case scenario, the Group’s transformation programme and completion of the Portfolio non-core business disposal programme in January 2024 has simplified and strengthened the business and facilitates further efficiency savings enabling sustainable growth in revenue, profit and cash flow over the medium term. When combined with available committed facilities, this allows the Group to manage scheduled debt repayments. The most material sensitivities to the base case are the risk of not delivering the planned revenue growth and efficiency savings from the Group's previously announced restructuring programme.

The base case projections used for going concern assessment purposes reflect business disposals completed up to the date of approval of these condensed financial statements and the agreed sale of the Capita One business because the completion of the disposal has been assessed to be highly probable. The liquidity headroom assessment in the base case projections reflects the Group’s existing committed financing facilities and debt redemptions and does not reflect any potential future refinancing. The base case financial forecasts demonstrate liquidity headroom and compliance with all debt covenant measures throughout the going concern period to 31 December 2025.

In considering severe but plausible downside scenarios, the Board has taken account of the potential adverse financial impacts resulting from the following risks:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 15 -

The likelihood of simultaneous crystallisation of the above risks is considered by the directors to be low. Nevertheless, in the event that simultaneous crystallisation were to occur, the Group would need to take action to mitigate the risk of insufficient liquidity and covenant headroom. In its assessment of going concern, the Board has considered the mitigations, under the direct control of the Group, that could be implemented including reductions or delays in capital investment, substantially reducing (or removing in full) bonus and incentive payments. The Board considered the impact of the above risks and mitigations on the Group both in the scenario where the Capita One disposal does occur, and if it were not to occur. In the event of the simultaneous crystallisation of risks and the Capita One disposal does not complete, the Board also considered the ability of the Group to refinance a portion of the 2025 maturing debt. Taking these mitigations into account, the Group’s financial forecasts, in a severe but plausible downside scenario, demonstrate sufficient liquidity headroom and compliance with all debt covenant measures throughout the going concern period to 31 December 2025.

 

Adoption of going concern basis by the Group:

Reflecting the levels of liquidity and covenant headroom in the base case and severe but plausible downside scenario, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The Board has concluded that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period to 31 December 2025.

Conclusion

Although the Company has a reliance on the Group as detailed above, even in a severe but plausible downside for both the Company and the Group, the Directors are confident the Company will continue to have adequate financial resources to continue in operation and discharge its liabilities as they fall due over the period to 31 December 2025 (the ‘going concern period’). Consequently, the annual report and financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

The Company operates a small number of long-term customer contracts and recognises revenue based on the principles set out in IFRS 15. The contracts entered are long term and complex in nature.

The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer.

In determining the amount of revenue and profits to record, and related balance sheet items (such as trade receivables, accrued income and deferred income) to recognise in the period, management is required to form a number of key judgements and assumptions. These judgements are inherently subjective and may cover future events such as the achievement of contractual milestones, performance KPIs and timing of additional project work.

Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract has been performed (so 'point in time' recognition) or 'over time' as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

For all contracts, the Company determines if the arrangement with a customer creates enforceable rights and obligations.

For contracts with multiple components to be delivered such as transformation, transitions and the delivery of outsourced services, management applies judgement to consider whether those promised goods and services are (i) distinct - to be accounted for as two separate performance obligations; (ii) not distinct - to be combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle is identified that is distinct or (iii) part of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

At contract inception the total transaction price is estimated, being the amount to which the Company expects to be entitled and has rights to under the present contract. This includes an assessment of any variable consideration where the Company's performance may result in additional revenues based on the achievement of agreed KPIs. Such amounts are only included based on the expected value or the most likely outcome method, and only to the extent that it is highly probable that no revenue reversal will occur.

The transaction price does not include estimates of consideration resulting from change orders for additional goods and services unless these are agreed.

Once the total transaction price is determined, the Company allocates this to the identified performance obligations in proportion to their relative stand-alone selling prices and recognises revenue when (or as) those performance obligations are satisfied. The Company infrequently sells standard products with observable standalone prices due to the specialised services required by customers and therefore the Company applies judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price. More frequently, the Company sells a customer bespoke solution, and in these cases the Company typically uses the expected cost-plus margin or a contractually stated price approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

For each performance obligation, the Company determines if revenue will be recognised over time or at a point in time. Where the Company recognises revenue over time for long term contracts, this is in general due to the Company performing and the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided over the life of the contract.

For each performance obligation to be recognised over time, the Company applies a revenue recognition method that faithfully depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. This decision requires assessment of the real nature of the goods or services that the Company has promised to transfer to the customer. The Company applies the relevant output or input method consistently to similar performance obligations in other contracts.

Revenue (continued)

When using the output method, the Company recognises revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods and services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods and services under the contract. Where the output method is used, for long term service contracts where the series guidance is applied (see below for further details), the Company often uses a method of time elapsed which requires minimal estimation. Certain long- term contracts use output methods based upon estimation of number of users, level of service activity or fees collected.

If performance obligations in a contract do not meet the overtime criteria, the Company recognises revenue at a point in time (see below for further details).

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, as management believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Long term contractual - greater than two years

The Company provides its services under customer contracts with a duration of more than two years. The nature of contracts or performance obligations categorised within this revenue type relates to long term outsourced service arrangements in the public sector.

The Company considers that the services provided meet the definition of a series of distinct goods and services as they are (i) substantially the same and (ii) have the same pattern of transfer (as the series constitutes services provided in distinct time increments (e.g., daily, monthly, quarterly or annual services)) and therefore treats the series as one performance obligation. Even if the underlying activities performed by the Company to satisfy a promise vary significantly throughout the day and from day to day, that fact, by itself, does not mean the distinct goods or services are not substantially the same.

For the majority of long service contracts with customers in this category, the Company recognises revenue using the output method as it best reflects the nature in which the Company is transferring control of the goods or services to the customer.

Contract modifications

The Company’s contracts are often amended for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the amendment either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue in one of the following ways:

  1. prospectively as an additional separate contract;

  2. prospectively as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract;

  3. as part of the original contract using a cumulative catch up; or

  4. as a combination of (b) and (c).

For contracts for which the Company has decided there is a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer where revenue is recognised over time, the modification will always be treated under either (a) or (b); (d) may arise when a contract has a part termination and a modification of the remaining performance obligations.

The facts and circumstances of any contract modification are considered individually as the types of modifications will vary contract by contract and may result in different accounting outcomes.

Revenue (continued)

Judgement is applied in relation to the accounting for such modifications where the final terms or legal contracts have not been agreed prior to the period end as management need to determine if a modification has been approved and if it either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties. Depending upon the outcome of such negotiations, the timing and amount of revenue recognised may be different in the relevant accounting periods. Modification and amendments to contracts are undertaken via an agreed formal process. For example, if a change in scope has been approved but the corresponding change in price is still being negotiated, management use their judgement to estimate the change to the total transaction price. Importantly any variable consideration is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probably that no revenue reversal will occur.

Deferred and accrued income

The Company’s customer contracts include a diverse range of payment schedules dependent upon the nature and type of goods and services being provided. The Company often agrees payment schedules at the inception of long term contracts under which it receives payments throughout the term of the contracts. These payment schedules may include performance-based payments or progress payments as well as regular monthly or quarterly payments for ongoing service delivery. Payments for transactional goods and services may be at delivery date, in arrears or part payment in advance. Where payments made are greater than the revenue recognised at the period end date, the Company recognises a deferred income contract liability for this difference. Where payments made are less than the revenue recognised at the period end date, the Company recognises an accrued income contract asset for this difference.

1.5
Financial instruments

Investments and other financial instruments

 

Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following measurement categories:

 

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Recognition and derecognition

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial instrument at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at FVPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial instrument. Transaction costs of financial instruments carried at FVPL are expensed in the income statement.

 

Financial instruments with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

 

Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on their trade date (i.e., the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the instrument). Financial instruments are derecognised when the rights to receive/pay cash flows from the financial instrument have expired or have been transferred such that the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

 

Impairment

The Company assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Financial instruments (continued)

 

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at cost (being the same as fair value) and subsequently at amortised cost less any provision for impairment, to ensure the amounts recognised represent their recoverable amount.

 

For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 Financial instruments, resulting in trade receivables recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts based on expected credit losses. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

 

The Company monitors the level of trade receivables on a monthly basis, continually assessing the risk of default by any counterparty. Each customer has an external credit score which determines the level of credit provided.

 

Derecognition: A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when (i) the rights to receive the cash flows from the asset have expired; or, (ii) the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risk and rewards of the asset; or, (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

 

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at cost (being same as fair value). Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible in to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within current financial liabilities.

 

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at their fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

 

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as through the amortisation process.

1.6
Taxation

Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

1.7
Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, it is probable that cash will be paid to settle it, and the amount can be estimated reliably.

 

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using the yield on government bonds which have a similar timing and currency of cash flows to the provision being discounted. Where required adjustments are made to the yields to reflect the risks specific to the cash flows being discounted. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a financing cost in the income statement.

 

The value of the provision is determined based on assumptions and estimates in relation to the amount, timing and likelihood of actual cash flows, which are dependent on future events. Where no reliable basis of estimation can be made, no provision is recorded. However, contingent liabilities disclosures are given when there is a greater than remote probability of outflow of economic benefits.

 

On an ongoing basis, management monitor provisions and their accurate estimation when compared to final outcomes.

1.8
Pensions

The Company participates in a defined contribution pension scheme where contributions are charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which they are due. This scheme is funded and contributions are paid to separately administered funds. The assets of this scheme are held separately from the Company. The Company remits monthly pension contributions to Capita Business Services Ltd (“CBSL”), a fellow subsidiary undertaking, which pays the Group liability centrally. Any unpaid contributions at the year-end have been accrued in the accounts of CBSL.

 

In addition, the Company participates in public sector defined benefit pension schemes which require contributions to be made to separate trustee-administered funds.

 

Where the Company participates in public sector defined benefit pension schemes, this is for a finite period and there are contractual protections in place to limit the financial risks to the Company of the membership of these schemes by its employees and as such the pension costs are reported on a defined contribution basis recognising a cost equal to its contribution payable during the period. (See note 14.)

 

One of these schemes the Company participated in, is the Kent County Council Pension Fund (“Kent Fund”) which is part of the national Local Government Pension Scheme, a defined benefits pension arrangement. The Company’s participation in the Kent Fund ceased when the last remaining active member left on 28 January 2022. Under the terms of participation, when the Company ceased to employ any active members it triggered an assessment of the Company’s notional section in the Kent Fund. This assessment has regard to any contractual protections in place. The Kent Fund was in surplus; however, due to the contractual protections the Company benefitted from, the Kent Fund decided in 2023 not to pass back the surplus to the Company. This admission of the Company to the Kent Fund has been finalised and completed.

1.9
Foreign exchange

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into British pounds sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. All foreign exchanges gains/losses are recognised in the income statement.

1.10
Current vs Non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on whether they are current or non-current.

 

An asset is current when it is:

All other assets are classified as non-current.

 

A liability is current when:

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the directors to make judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expense during the presented periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ. No significant judgements, estimates and assumptions were used in preparation of financial statements in current reporting period.

Employee benefits

The Company participates in both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes.

 

Contributions in respect of defined contribution pension schemes payable by the Company during the year amounted to £94,438 (2022: £105,573). The pension charge excludes pension contributions paid by the Company on behalf of employees via a salary sacrifice arrangement.

 

The Company has current and former employees who are members of public sector defined benefit pension schemes.

 

Where the Company participates in public sector defined benefit pension schemes, this is for a finite period and there are contractual protections in place allowing actuarial and investment risk to be passed on to the end customer via recoveries for contributions paid. The nature of these arrangements vary from contract to contract but typically allows for the majority of contributions payable to the schemes in excess of an initial rate agreed at the inception to be recovered from the end customer, as well as exit payments payable to the schemes at the cessation of the contract (where applicable), such that the Company’s net exposure to actuarial and investment risk is immaterial. Therefore the costs in relation to these schemes are reported on a defined contribution basis recognising a cost equal to its contribution payable during the period. No amounts are recognised on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

It is estimated that around £2k of employer contributions were paid to these pension schemes during 2023.

 

The pension charge for these public sector defined benefit pension schemes is included in the above defined contribution amount.

 

Kent County Council Pension Fund (“Kent Fund”)

 

The Company participated in the Kent Fund which is part of the national Local Government Pension Scheme, a defined benefits pension arrangement.

 

The Company’s participation in the Kent Fund ceased when the last remaining active member left on 28 January 2022.
