2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the measurement of investments at fair value. |
The company's functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling, rounded to the nearest £. |
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. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing these financial statements the company's management make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the statement of financial position date and the amounts reported in the income statement for the period under review. |
The nature of estimates means that the actual outcome could differ and the company's management consider there are no estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the amounts reported for assets and liabilities within the next financial year. |
The company's management also consider the future cash requirements of the company and its available resources in order to ensure that the going concern basis used in the preparation of these financial statements is appropriate for the foreseeable future. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Fee, commission and brokerage income includes initial income receivable on the commencement of a new policy which is recognised when the policy goes on risk. Fee and commission income also includes on-going fees which are recognised as the services are provided and renewal commissions which are recognised when earned. |
Goodwill |
The difference between the fair value of consideration given and the fair values of the net assets of entities acquired has been accounted for as goodwill. Amortisation has been provided to write off goodwill evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty three years. |
