The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses.
Trade debtors are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and an allowance is recognised where there is objective evidence of impairment.
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and the company credit card, are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
