Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 September 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Financial instruments A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds

Company activities and impact

The European Federation of Farriers Associations works to improve the welfare of the horse by encouraging the highest standards of trimming and shoeing and to prevent suffering of, and cruelty to all equines arising from the unskilled trimming and shoeing. EFFA also aims to improve the professional knowledge and skill of farriers throughout Europe and beyond. To achieve this objective, EFFA assessed the examination process of various farriery schools in Europe to ensure their training meets the standards set out in the Certified Euro Farrier (Trademarked) (CEF) Programme. The assessments included new schools (Slovenia) and a number of re-accreditations. The register of new and current CEFs was maintained in cooperation with the respective associations. Approximately 300 new CEFs were awarded a certificate to demonstrate their status. The Annual General meeting in Stoneleigh, UK, brought together 55 farriers and associates, representing 23 associations and over 3000 farriers throughout Europe to discuss developments in horse welfare, shoeing practice and continued professional development of farriers. EFFA supported the development of a farrier exchange programme for young farriers to gain experience in the US and vice-versa. EFFA participated in the annual meeting of the European Horse Network, a group representing all aspects of the Equine industry to the European Parliament.
