Members‘ participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members‘ agreement (for example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed, remuneration and profits) .
Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLP's perspective, either a financial liability or equity, in accordance with Section 22 of FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships'. A member's participation right results in a liability unless the right to any payment is discretionary on the part of the LLP.
Amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members‘ capital, are classed as equity if the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members. lf the LLP does not have such an unconditional right, such amounts are classified as liabilities.
Where profits are automatically divided as they arise, so the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment, the amounts arising that are due to members are in the nature of liabilities. They are therefore treated as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account in the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the year end, they are shown as liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
Conversely, where profits are divided only after a decision by the LLP or its representative, so that the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment, such profits are classed as an appropriation of equity rather than as an expense. They are therefore shown as a residual amount available for discretionary division among members in the Profit and Loss Account and are equity appropriations in the Balance Sheet.
Other amounts applied to members, for example remuneration paid under an employment contract and interest on capital balances, are treated in the same way as all other divisions of profits, as described above, according to whether the LLP has, in each case, an unconditional right to refuse payment.
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the Balance Sheet within ‘Loans and other debts due to members‘ and are charged to the Profit and Loss Account within ‘Members’ remuneration charged as an expense’.
Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the Balance Sheet within ‘Members’ other interests‘.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The post-retirement payments due to members are determined annually based upon a formula directly linked to the profits of the partnership. Provision is made for such payments when a member obtains an actual or constructive right to the payments, which the LLP has no discretion to withhold. The provision is based upon the estimated present value of the expected future payments to members.
Amounts recognised in respect of current members are charged to the profit and loss account within members‘ remuneration charged as an expense. The liability for post-retirement payments due to current members is recorded in the balance sheet within loans and other debts due to members. In the year in which a member retires, the liability is transferred from loans and other debts due to members and is recorded as a liability due to former members within either creditors or provisions for liabilities.
Where provision for post-retirement payments due to former members is a contractual liability or a constructive obligation of certain timing amount, the provision will be recorded within creditors falling due within or after more than one year. In all other cases, the provision will be recorded within provisions for liabilities.
The unwinding of the discount on provisions for post-retirement payments due to current members is charged to the profit and loss account as part of members‘ remuneration charged as an expense.
The unwinding of the discount on provisions for post-retirement payments due to former members is charged to the profit and loss account and included adjacent to interest payable and similar charges.
All provisions are re-assessed annually and any changes in estimates are included within the profit and loss account.

A division of profits is the mechanism by which the profits of an LLP become a debt due to members. A division may be automatic or discretionary, may relate to some or all of the profits for a financial period and may take place during or after the end of a financial period.
An automatic division of profits is one where the LLP does not have an unconditional right to avoid making a division of an amount of profits based on the members' agreement in force at the time, whereas a discretionary division of profits requires a decision to be made by the LLP, which it has the unconditional right to avoid making.
The LLP divides profits automatically. Automatic divisions of profits are recognised as 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense in .
