Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Changes in accounting policy
The following have been applied for the first time from 1 April 2024 and have had an effect on the financial statements:
Revenue recognition - membership fees
Under the previous accounting policy, where membership income received in the period exceeded expenditure in the period, the surplus income was treated as deferred income and carried forward in creditors. Conversely, where expenditure exceeded income, previously deferred income would be released to the profit and loss account to offset the deficit.
The new policy stipulates that membership fees should be recognised as income in the period to which they relate, therefore any surplus or deficit arising will be carried forward in retained earnings.
Relating to the current period disclosed in these financial statements | Relating to the prior period disclosed in these financial statements | Relating to periods before the prior period disclosed in these financial statements | |
Turnover | - | (298,500) | (230,000) |
Deferred income | - | (522,371) | (820,871) |
Retained earnings brought forward | 522,371 | 820,871 | 1,050,871 |
Retained earnings carried forward | - | 522,371 | 820,871 |
This change in policy was determined after a review of the company's reserves policy which revealed that the previous accounting treatment did not accurately reflect the underlying nature of the transactions, and was not in line with generally accepted accounting principles.

Prior period errors
Profits from a commercial event held in the period were classified as membership income and included in deferred income in accordance with the previous accounting policy for revenue recognition. The income and expenditure relating to this event should have been recognised in the profit and loss account during the period.
Some of this income was generated from non-members' attendance and as such was subject to corporation tax, but no tax provision was made in the accounts.
Relating to the current period disclosed in these financial statements | Relating to the prior period disclosed in these financial statements | Relating to periods before the prior period disclosed in these financial statements | |
Turnover | - | 1,272,258 | - |
Cost of sales | - | (836,859) | - |
Corporation tax charge | - | (70,000) | - |
Taxation and social security | - | 70,000 | - |
Deferred income | - | (435,398) | - |
Retained earnings brought forward | 365,398 | - | - |
Retained earnings carried forward | - | 365,398 | - |
This error was identified after a review of the company's accounting policy for revenue recognition which did not comment on the treatment of income from commercial events.
Revenue recognition
Membership fees are collected annually and are recognised as revenue on an accruals basis in the period to which they relate, reflecting the delivery of services to members. They are shown net of VAT. The membership year runs to 31 March.
Income from commercial events is recognised in the period in which the event takes place and is shown net of VAT.
Reserves policy
The company aims to maintain reserves of between 6 to 12 months’ operating expenses so as to ensure financial stability, maintain the ability to plan for future events, and for future growth.

Foreign currency transactions and balances
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Tax
Due to company's mutual-trading status, the company is only liable to tax on its investment income and event revenues derived from non-members, all of which is provided at current rates.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Office equipment |
20% on cost |
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
|
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
|
Intangible assets |
25% on cost |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
