Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Accrued income

Profit is taken as the work is carried out if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. The profit included is calculated on a prudent basis to reflect the proportion of work carried out at the year end by recording revenue and related costs on each case. Revenue is calculated as the proportion of total case value which costs incurred to date bear to total costs for each case. The remaining revenue is only recognised on completion of the case.

No value is placed on accrued income in relation to continent fee cases in accordance with recognised accounting practice, where there is insufficient certainty as to the outcome of the cases to justify the recognition as an asset.
