NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Secure Screening Services Ltd is a |
The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) which is rounded to the nearest pound (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have undertaken cost reduction measures to assist in improving profitability. The company also has significant new customer contracts in the pipeline. The directors and shareholders have also reviewed the state of business and confirmed that their support will remain in place, therefore it is of the directors opinion that the business remains a going concern. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of services, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover is comprised of services rendered for data analysis and personal detail screening. Turnover is recognised during the period which it falls due. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets held for the company’s own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
Plant and machinery | - | 25% on cost |
Fixtures and fittings | - | 15% on reducing balance |
Motor vehicles | - | 25% on cost |
Computer equipment | - | 15% on reducing balance |
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. |
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified by the director as basis or advanced following the conditions in FRS 102 section 1A. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company has no advanced financial instruments. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
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. |
Employee benefits |
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |
3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
The average number of employees during the year was |
