REPORT OF THE MEMBERS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 |
The members present their report with the financial statements of the LLP for the year ended 5 April 2024. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
The principal activities of the LLP in the year under review were those of financial services. |
DESIGNATED MEMBERS |
M J Lockyer and J Corcoran were designated members of the LLP throughout the year. |
OTHER MEMBERS |
The following are the non designated members |
J A ANDERSON |
J H PERKINS |
M A J HAYWARD |
J P L PEARSON |
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND ALLOCATION TO MEMBERS |
The profit for the year before members' remuneration and profit shares was £609,716 (2023 - £858,697 profit). |
MEMBERS' INTERESTS |
The members' drawing policy allows each member to draw a proportion of his profit share entitlement, subject to the cash requirements of the business. |
A member's Capital Requirement is linked to his profit share and the financing requirement of the LLP. There is no opportunity for appreciation of the capital subscribed: just as incoming members introduce their capital at "par", so retiring members are repaid their capital at "par". |
MEMBERS' DRAWINGS |
The overall policy for members' drawings is to distribute a proportion of the profit during the financial year, taking into account the need to maintain sufficient funds to finance the working capital and other needs of the business. The members set the level of monthly drawings. |
STATEMENT OF MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The members are responsible for preparing the Report of the Members and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Legislation applicable to limited liability partnerships requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under legislation applicable to limited liability partnerships the members must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the members are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the LLP will continue in business. |
The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the LLP and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

REPORT OF THE MEMBERS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the members are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the LLP's auditors are unaware, and each member has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a member in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the LLP's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, GOLDWYNS, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. |
ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBERS: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
WESTMINSTER WEALTH MANAGEMENT LLP |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Westminster Wealth Management LLP (the 'LLP') for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Reconciliation of Members' Interests, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the LLP's affairs as at 5 April 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the LLP in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Members, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
WESTMINSTER WEALTH MANAGEMENT LLP |
Responsibilities of members |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Members' Responsibilities set out on page two, the members are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the members determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the members are responsible for assessing the LLP's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members either intend to liquidate the LLP or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are |
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. |
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. |
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and |
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair |
presentation. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Other matters |
The comparative financial statements are unaudited. |

Use of our report |

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the LLP's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the LLP and the LLP's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Westminster Wealth Management 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 |
Going concern |
At the time of approving the financial statements, the partners have a reasonable expectation that the partnership has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the partners continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The members do not believe that there are any estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents fee and commission income. Turnover is recognised when the income is receivable, based on delivery of services. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Computer equipment | - |
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. |
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. |
Debtors and creditors receivable/ payable within one year |
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the LLP has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. |
3. | TURNOVER |

18. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES |
The LLP's financial risk management policies are designed to safeguard its financial position and mitigate the risks associated with price, credit, liquidity, and cash flow exposures. |
Exposure to Price Risk |
The LLP has minimal exposure to price risk. |
Exposure to Credit Risk |
Credit risk arises from cash and trade receivables. The LLP mitigates this risk by working with reputable financial institutions and conducting regular assessments of counterparties' credit quality.No significant provision for bad debts has been recognised, as historical data indicates minimal risk of default. |
Exposure to Liquidity Risk |
Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and ensuring access to adequate funding facilities. Regular cash flow forecasts are prepared to ensure the LLP can meet its financial obligations as they fall due, even under challenging conditions. |
Exposure to Cash Flow Risk |
The LLP's exposure to cash flow risk arises primarily from fluctuations in operational income and expenditure. This risk is mitigated through proactive financial planning, including regular cash flow monitoring and maintaining a buffer of liquid assets to support operational needs. |
