2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In applying the Company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors’ judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that year, in the year of the revision and future years, if the revision affects both current and future years.
The directors do not consider there to be any critical judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty relating to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.

The company has no employees other than the directors, who did not receive any remuneration (2023 - £NIL).
