FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Accounting policies
1.1
Basis of preparation

Capita Life and Pensions International Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom.

 

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company’s Directors (“the Directors”) are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months following the approval of these accounts.

 

The subsidiaries' contract was terminated by the client in April 2023. Following this, the Directors intend to liquidate both the subsidiaries as well as the Company and as a result these financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on non-going concern basis as at 31 December 2024. As a consequence, the Directors have considered the adjustments required to prepare the financial statement on non-going concern basis. The expected realisable and settlement values for current assets and liabilities are not considered to be materially different from their carrying value at the balance sheet date. Therefore, the Directors have considered that no further adjustments are required as a result of preparing the financial statements on non-going concern basis.

1.2
Compliance with accounting standards

The Company has applied FRS101 – Reduced Disclosure Framework in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

The Company has prepared and presented these financial statements by applying the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The Company's ultimate parent company, Capita plc, includes the Company in its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ('UK-IFRSs') and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. These are available to the public and may be obtained from Capita plc’s website on https://www.capita.com/investors.

 

In these financial statements, the Company has applied the disclosure exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of the following disclosures:

 

Since the consolidated financial statements of Capita plc include equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the disclosure exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of the following disclosure:

1.3
Change in accounting policies

The Company has adopted the new amendments to standards detailed below but they do not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

New amendments or interpretations

Effective date

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to IAS 1

1 January 2024

Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to IFRS 16    

1 January 2024

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

1.4
Financial instruments

Trade and other receivables

The trade and other receivables have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values.

1.5
Taxation

Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

 

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

1.6
Group accounts

The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual company and not about its Group. The Company has not prepared Group accounts because it is fully exempt from the requirement to do so by section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 since it is a subsidiary company of Capita plc, a company incorporated in England and Wales, and is included in the consolidated financial statements of that company.

1.7
Investments

The Company has investments in subsidiaries.

 

Investments in subsidiaries are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently they are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there are indicators to reverse the previously recognised impairment loss. The reversals of impairment are only recognised where there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the investment’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

2
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the directors to make judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expense during the presented periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ.

 

No significant judgements, estimates and assumptions have been used in the preparation of these financial statements.
