Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts receivable, net of Value Added Tax, for the sale of services to customers and includes unbilled work where recovery was reasonably certain at the year end.

Tax

Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes, which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date. It is measured at the rates that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and law enacted at the balance sheet date.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office equipment

20% of net book value

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of the practice was capitalised as an asset on the balance sheet and has been amortised on a straight line basis over its estimated useful economic life of 5 years.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like bank deposits, debtors and creditors.

Stocks

Stocks of stationery are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

3

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors under service contract) during the year, was 2 (2023 - 2).
