2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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.

GOING CONCERN

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The Company is primarily established to facilitate the organisation and delivery of VATable conferences on behalf of its parent undertaking, Downing College, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. While the Company is strategically structured to generate a profit from these activities, it does not operate independently for profit. Any surpluses generated are expected to be gifted to Downing College, aligning the Company’s operations with the broader objectives of the College.

The Directors have received confirmation from Downing College that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company for the foreseeable future, including a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This support ensures that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

In light of this commitment, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

TURNOVER

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
