Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements contain information about Wellers Impact Consulting Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated information as the parent of a group. The Company has taken the option under section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare Group financial statement s that would consolidate the results and balances of the Company plus any subsidiary entities where the Company derives significant economic benefits through authority to oversee such an entity's practices and policies.
The financial statements of the Company are prepared up to 31 March 2025.
These financial statements are prepared in £ sterling, which is the functional currency of the Group and the Company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of FRS 102, not to disclose related party transactions with and between wholly owned subsidiaries and the parent of the same group.
Long term investments, including stocks and shares issued by subsidiaries, are initially measured at cost. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments to determine whether those assets have suffered a material impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the estimated impairment loss would be recognised in the Company's profit or loss so that the asset value is reduced to a recoverable amount based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell and a pre-tax discounted value in use of future cash flows.

Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2025
The provisions of section 11 Basic Financial Instruments of FRS 102 have been applied to all financial instruments held by the Group and the Company. Such instruments are recognised in the balance sheet once the related provisions of an underlying contract are legally in force.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liabilility simultaneously.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors, balances for cash at bank and in hand, and balances with related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price plus directly attributable transaction costs. At each reporting end date, all financial assets are reviewed to determine whether there has been any significant value impairment loss or loss reversal that should be recognised in profit or loss.
For assets receivable more than one year from the balance sheet date, amounts are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. If, however, it is a financing transaction, it is measured at the present value of future receipts after discounting at a market interest rate.
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 Group after deducting all known liabilities.
Basis financial liabilities, including creditors and net credit balances with related parties, are initially recorded at transaction price. This does not apply for an arrangement where a debt instrument is measured at the present value of future payments as discounted by a market interest rate. Financial liabilities are not amoritised if they are payable within one year from the balance sheet date.
The effective interest rate method is used to carry debt instruments at amortised cost.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from the Company's suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is within one year from the balance sheet date. If more than one year, such amounts are separately presented as non-current liabilities. Initially, trade creditors are recognised at transaction price. Subsequently , they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
The aggregate balance includes all basic financial assets legally owned and controlled by the Group and the Company. This includes bank current accounts, deposits held at call with banks, short term liquid investments that mature within three months or less, petty cash, and bank overdrafts. To the extent that bank overdrafts cannot be legally offset against sup;pus cash balances, they are presented under basic financial liabilities.
When the Company issues equity instruments they are recorded at the proceeds received after deducting all costs directly related to an issue. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liaibilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Company.
