Turnover
The turnover on Sovereign Global Partnership Ltd (10861533) is derived from consultancy services and business development, specialising in the hospitality industry and also with capital investments within the GCC and assisting the SGP Saudi office.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied, 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. Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price and are subsequently measured as follows: Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost and commitments to receive a loan and to make a loan to another entity 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.
All other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, which is normally the transaction price and are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss.
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.
All equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or 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 what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Contingent liabilities. The company has no contingent liabilities at 31 December 2023. Directors' emoluments
The Directors received no emoluments in respect of their services as Directors of the company. The company’s policy from 2008 and subsequent years is to provide each Executive Director with a remuneration package, which not only gives a fair degree of security by way of a base salary, but also through an annual bonus and long term incentive plan, giving a significant performance-related element. In determining the remuneration packages of Executive Directors, the Committee considers a number of factors including the basic salaries and benefits available to Executive Directors of comparable companies, the importance of recruiting and retaining management of an appropriate calibre and links reward to the Group’s performance.
