Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 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 Turnover represents agency commissions recognised at the later of the policy inception date and placement date and is earned on referral of business to (re)insurance companies, in accordance with FRS 102 Section 23. Alterations to commission income arising from premium adjustments are taken into account as and when such adjustments are notified and processed. Where there is an expectation of future servicing requirements, an element of income relating to the policy is deferred to cover the associated obligation, if material. Profit commission on run-off business is recognised when notified and processed.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation was provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life. Office equipment 20% on cost Fixtures and furniture 20% on cost Computer equipment 33% on cost

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors Trade and other debtors and balances due from related parties are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The carrying value is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Creditors Creditors and balances due to related parties are recognised when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration payable. The Company derecognises a creditor or related party payable when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Cash and bank balances This includes cash in hand, bank balances, and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Foreign currencies Revenues and costs expressed in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rate ruling on the date on which the transaction occurs. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Differences arising on translation of such items are dealt with in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Operating leasing commitments Rental payable under operating leases is charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The income receivable on the recharge of these costs to related parties within the Group is recognised on the same basis over the term of the lease. Judgements and estimation uncertainty No key judgements or estimation uncertainties are involved in the preparation of these financial statements.
