| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Insurance Services (Surrey) Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102 1A) "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. |
| Significant accounting estimates and judgements |
| The directors have considered the criteria for the recognition of revenue from the supply of services as set out in FRS 102. In particular, whether the company can estimate the amount of revenue, that probable economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and that the stage of completion can be measured reliably. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents commissions receivable on insurance services provided to customers. Turnover is shown net of commissions paid to third parties. |
| Commissions have been included in the financial statements based on the amounts receivable in respect of insurance transactions placed on risk throughout the year. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 25% on a reducing balance basis |
| Computer equipment | - 25% on a straight line basis |
| On disposal the difference between the net proceeds and carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in profit or loss, and included in administrative expenses. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified as basic or non-basic following the conditions in FRS 102 Section 11. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction cost) and subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The company has no non-basic financial instruments. |
| For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. |
| Current tax |
| Current tax is the amount of corporation tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements. |
| Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis. |
| 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 the income statement in the period to which they relate. |
| Brokerage |
| Insurance debtors and creditors are shown on a net settlement basis in the financial statements rather than separately. |
| Investments |
| Long term investments are classified as fixed assets and are stated at fair value. |
| Operating leases |
| Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the income statement as incurred. |
