Accounting policies
Company information
Independent Society of Musicians (formerly Incorporated Society of Musicians) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 4-5 Inverness Mews, London, W2 3JQ.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of listed investments and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.
1.2
Going concern
The Directors have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate at the time of preparing the financial statements and have determined that the business has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company will alleviate any future external risks by reducing expenditure or by utilising its reserves.true
1.3
Income and expenditure
Income represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT.
Subscriptions from members are all due for the year from the date of renewal. Subscriptions received are accounted for on the accruals basis and deferred income is recognised where the period covered by the subscription exceeds the year end. Accrued income is recognised where subscriptions are due, and expected to be received from members. If subscriptions are not received within 3 months of a member’s renewal date, then their membership lapses and access to services is withdrawn.
Other income is recognised once we have entitlement to the funds, it is probable that income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land
Not provided
Freehold buildings
2% straight line on buildings
Fixtures, fittings & equipment
20% straight line
Assets costing less than £3,000 are written off in the year of purchase.
1.6
Fixed asset investments
Fixed assets investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in income and expenditure. Transaction costs are expensed to income and expenditure as incurred.
1.7
Financial instruments
The company only has financial instruments which are classified as basic financial instruments.
Short-term debtors and creditors are measured at settlement value. Any losses from impairment are recognised in income and expenditure.
1.8
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.
1.9
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of certain employees. Contributions payable are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year they are payable.
1.10
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.11
Various local groups of the Incorporated Society of Musicians exist. The Council does not consider these local groups to be controlled by the Incorporated Society of Musicians and has therefore excluded their income, expenditure, assets and liabilities from these financial statements. Grants by the Incorporated Society of Musicians to the local groups are included in expenditure.
1.12
The Incorporated Society of Musicians is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of a winding up, members have agreed to contribute an amount limited to £1.
