The Bowes Museum (Enterprises) Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
There were no material departures from that standard. |
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts. |
Going concern |
The directors assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The directors make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date the financial statements are approved. |
The directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements, taking into account the continued support of the parent company, The Bowes Museum, the directors, government and finance providers. |
On this basis the directors believe it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
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. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Income recognition |
Turnover is recognised at the point at which the risks and rewards of the goods sold are transferred to the customer and/or services are rendered. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell after making due |
allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. |
Financial instruments |
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost with changes recognised in profit or loss. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
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 balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Grants |
Revenue related grants are credited to the profit and loss account. |
