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.

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.

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

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the respective functional currency of the entity at the rates prevailing on the reporting period date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate on the date when the fair value is re-measured.

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.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.

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.
