2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Revenue recognition - turnover |
The company generates revenue principally from brokerage, commission, and fees associated with placing insurance contracts and programmes. Brokerage, commission, and fees on instalments not due until after the year-end are recognised on the inception of the insurance contracts concerned, which is when the placement services have been substantially completed. Adjustments to brokerage, commissions, and fees are recognised when they can be ascertained with reasonable certainty, which is normally when the amounts concerned are advised or confirmed by the relevant third parties. |
Insurance debtors and creditors |
The Company acts as an insurance broker placing insurable risks of its clients with insurers and as such is not liable as principal for the amounts arising from such transactions. The company discloses the premiums receivable from its clients, premiums received and held in trust and balances due to the insurers within its balance sheet. Disclosure is made of the net insurance surplus within note 10 to the accounts. |
Turnover |
Turnover comprises commissions, fees, and brokerage receivable during the year, and is attributable to the continuing activity, of insurance broking within the United Kingdom. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Land and buildings | - |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
