2.2. Turnover
Revenue recognition
Turnover represents commission income on ATE and BTE cases. In accordance with FRS102, turnover in respect of cases which are contingent on future events outside of the control of the Company is not recognised until the contingent event has occurred.
For policies that have been issued where the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty, income is recorded when the policy is issued less a provision in respect of any contingent element based on industry benchmarks. No value is placed on accrued income in respect of contingent fee cases in accordance with FRS102 where there is insufficient certainty as to the outcome of the case to justify the recognition as an asset.
2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
