Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
Following a review of detailed budgets and cashflow forecasts the directors are confident that the company has adequate resources to satisfy its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the signing of these financial statements. Accordingly, the company continues to apply the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the invoiced value of subscriptions, grants, contractual income, room rental and other income excluding Value Added Tax. |
Revenue is recognised as earned when and to the extent that, the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance under these contracts. It is measured as the fair value of the consideration given, including expenses and disbursements but excluding value added tax. The following criteria are also met before revenue is recognised: |
(i) Contracted services. Revenue is generally recognised as contract activity progresses so that for incomplete contracts it reflects the partial performance of the contractual obligations. For such contracts the amount of revenue reflects the accrual of the right to consideration by reference to the value of the work performed. Revenue not invoiced as turnover is included in debtors and payments on accounts in excess of the relevant amount of revenue are included in creditors. Revenue that is contingent on events outside the control of the company is recognised when the contingent event occurs. |
(ii) Membership subscriptions. Membership income is recognised over the membership period (normally 12 months). |
(iii) Events income. Revenue is recognised in the financial year in which the event occurs. |
(iv) Sponsorship income. Revenue is recognised over the period of the sponsorship agreement. |
(v) Room rental of managed offices. Revenue is recognised when the rooms are occupied by the customer. |

Operating lease commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income and expenditure account in the period to which they relate. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income and expenditure account in the period to which they relate. |
