Responsibility for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
The directors are legally responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the company’s financial position and performance for the financial year and the directors must ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 requirements, which dictate the structure, disclosure, and content of the financial statements. Directors must prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards, such as FRS 102 (Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland) and adopting IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and as per provision of “The Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC).
Fair Values
The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The fair value of trade and other short-term receivables are taken to approximate their carrying value. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value.
Events after the Reporting date

Two types of event can be identified: Those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting year (adjusting events after the reporting date); and Those are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting year (Non-adjusting events after the reporting date). No events after the expiry of the Balance Sheet date and the reporting period has been occurred and found to be reportable.
Going concern
The directors have assessed the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and are confident that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on this basis. This assessment includes a review of the company’s current financial position, projected cash flows, and anticipated future performance. The company operates within a stable market, maintains sufficient financial resources, and has established contracts that provide a reliable revenue stream. Management has also considered potential risks and uncertainties, including market conditions and economic challenges, and has implemented measures to mitigate these risks effectively. Based on these factors, the directors are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the foreseeable future, which is defined as at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtain control of the goods or services. Determining the timing of transfer of control at a point in time or over time and requires judgment. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. IFRS 15 requires application of 5 step model for revenue recognition: 1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract 3) Determine the transaction price 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Application of this guidance will depend on the facts and circumstances present in a contract with a customer and will require the exercise of judgment. i) Interest income is recognized when accrued on a time proportion basis. ii) Other income recognized when the right to received payment established. ACUMEN EXPERT SERVICES LIMITED recognizes revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, based on when control of goods or services transfers to the customer. For ongoing projects, revenue is recognized over time using costs incurred or milestones achieved. For completed services, revenue is recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are met. Continuous services are recognized progressively based on agreed metrics like hours worked. Revenue is measured at the transaction price, net of discounts, with advance payments recorded as contract liabilities and recognized upon fulfillment of obligations. Regular reviews ensure compliance and accuracy.
Cost of Revenue
The employee salaries classified as directly attributable to revenue consist of wages, salaries, bonuses, and associated costs for staff whose roles are integral to generating the company's revenue. These positions typically include sales, production, customer support personnel, or other key contributors directly involved in delivering goods or services.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that the taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rated that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred Tax
Deferred Tax liabilities are generally recognized for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
