Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Other accounting policies

    Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the

Company activities and impact

Paperwork Theatre is a Liverpool-based company led by Artistic Director Nicole Behan, creating bold theatrical experiences for the stage and beyond, which respond to the question ‘what does the world need right now?’ Our work seeks to create connections and adventure for audiences through innovative storytelling. We create plays and immersive, interactive experiences that have something to say about the world around us and invite audiences to be actively involved. We’re proudly based in the North West where we invest in regional talent and maintain a national perspective by creating and collaborating with established theatre makers from across the UK. We’re fiercely female led and champion the skills and opportunities for women as audiences, participants and artists to redress gender imbalance. We invite communities to co-design the ideas we stage through conversation, workshops and projects. Our strategy is informed by the insights and experiences of these people which ensures a diverse and dynamic approach. We also create space for local people to tell their own stories in a programme of Community projects which includes RISE UP, our creative skills course for women, delivering our Teacup Commission micro fund to support new work, and a range of workshops for Theatre Makers and Local people to receive skills development and networking opportunities. In reflection of the world around us, Paperwork Theatre is ever-changing, reaching new people and voices in the heart of our communities and beyond.

Consultation with stakeholders

We invite communities to co-design the ideas we stage through conversation, workshops and projects. Our strategy is informed by the insights and experiences of these people which ensures a diverse and dynamic approach. We also create space for local people to tell their own stories in a programme of Community projects. RISE UP participants take part in spoken and written feedback at the end of their course. This includes asking them to talk about their experience, the impact of the project and the type of activities they would like us to run in future. At the end of each project we create an impact report to send to our partners and ask them to offer feedback too. Teacup Commission attendees engage in 20 minute networking sessions where they talk with us about their work, inspirations and how they would like to create/engage in projects. When we deliver Workshops we do spoken feedback sessions at the end to gather feedback from participants. All of this work shapes what we make and how we deliver our work.
