Accounting policies
Company information
Canning House Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 50 Broadway, London, SW1H 0BL.

Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
Under current circumstances of depressed corporate activity, the company is reliant on support from its parent organisation – The Hispanic and Luso Brazilian Council – to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Although this is the truethird year that such support has been required, the directors are satisfied that further financial support will be made available to the company for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable for services, net of VAT. The total turnover of the company for the year has been derived from its principal activities. Annual membership subscriptions are recognised in equal monthly instalments over the period of membership. Donations and sponsorships are recognised when the company has entitlement to these funds. Event fees and room hire are recorded when the services are provided.

Taxation

1.5
Employee benefits
The company does not have any employees that are directly employed by the company. All employees are provided by The Hispanic and Luso Brazilian Council. As such, the company is only responsible for the costs recharged, which are allocated to the profit and loss account as they fall due.
1.6
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.7
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
