There are no existing restrictions or limitations which impact the ability of the members of the LLP to reduce the amount of Members' other interests
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Smudger Enterprises LLP is a limited liability partnership, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the LLP's registered office is 264 Banbury Road, Summertown, Oxford, OX2 7DY, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council and the requirements of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships issued in December 2021 (SORP 2022).
The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the LLP and rounded to the nearest £.
During the year it was agreed that amounts due to members had been previously overstated as amounts recoverable from members presented as debtors on the Balance Sheet. These amounts have previously been repaid to the members via their drawings. The Balance Sheet has been re-stated for the current and prior period.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the LLP and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.
• Publications
Income is recognised on completion of contractual obligations in accordance with book agreements.
• Television and appearance
Income is recognised on delivery of completed programmes and by event.
• Image rights
Income is recognised over the term of contracts and by service delivered.
Short term benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Defined contribution schemes
The LLP operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable.
The LLP does not provide pensions or annuity benefits for its members or outgoing members. They are expected to provide from their share of the profits for their planned retirement.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as described below.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the LLP becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the LLP after deducting all of its liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the LLP intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, or the LLP transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or the LLP, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the LLP's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the limited liability partnership are recorded at the fair value of the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
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. A member’s participation rights including amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members’ capital, are classed as liabilities unless the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members, in which case they are classified as equity.
All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the Statement of Financial Position within 'Loans and other debts due to members'. Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the Statement of Financial Position within 'Members' other interests'.

During the year it was agreed that amounts due to members had been previously overstated as amounts recoverable from members presented as debtors on the Balance Sheet. These amounts have previously been repaid to the members via their drawings. This amendment has had no effect on equity.
