Limited liability partnership information

Burton Copeland LLP is a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Madison Place, Northampton Road, Manchester, M40 5AG.

The limited liability partnership's principal activities are disclosed in the Members' Report.

1.1
Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships" issued in May 2024, together with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the limited liability partnership. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the members have a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.2
Members' participation rights

Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the m embers' 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. M ember 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 within 'Loans and other debts due to members' and, where such an amount relates to current year profits or movements in the liability to non-working members in respect of future profits, they are recognised within ‘Members' remuneration charged as an expense’ in arriving at the relevant period’s result. Undivided amounts that are classified as equity are shown within ‘Members' other interests’. Amounts recoverable from members are presented as debtors and shown as amounts due from members within members’ interests.

Where there exists an asset and liability component in respect of an individual member’s participation rights, they are presented on a gross basis unless the LLP has both a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to settle and realise these amounts simultaneously, in which case they are presented ne t.

Profits are automatically divided as they arise, so the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment and the amounts arising that are due to members are in the nature of liabilities. They are therefore treated as an expense and presented as members remuneration charged as an expense in arriving at the result for the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the period end, they are shown as liabilities.

Whilst the members’ agreement does not differentiate between profits and losses for profit sharing purposes, it does stipulate that the LLP cannot demand additional contributions from members, and as a result the LLP does not have an unconditional right to demand payment from members for losses. Therefore, to the extent that losses exceed the balance on capital and current accounts, they are not recognised as a recoverable asset and so remain within equity until such time as [ profits are generated to set them against ] [ or detail other conditions as appropriate ].

The members’ participation rights that are classified as liabilities are repayable upon demand or at short notice (eg upon termination of membership), and as such whilst they are financing transactions, the effect of discounting is considered immaterial and so they are not discounted to present value.

Where members do not provide any substantive services, to the extent that profits are liabilities, the automatic right to a share of the LLP’s profits is treated as a return on capital which is the right to share in the future profits of the LLP. The capital contributed by such members is initially recognised at fair value, with the fair value being equal to the amount subscribed. Subsequently, the capital contribution is measured at fair value and remeasured at each period end.

The LLP agreement does not provide the LLP with any rights to recover amounts paid to members, and amounts paid are treated as distributions rather than drawings on account. The LLP considers whether the corresponding distribution forms part of members’ remuneration charged as an expense or represents a discretionary division of profit made during the period. Where the LLP could have chosen never to divide the associated profits, the distribution is accounted for as a discretionary division of profit, and not reported in profit or loss. Conversely, where the distribution is of profits that are subject to automatic division then a liability in respect of those profits will already have been recognised, with the corresponding expense forming part of members’ remuneration charged as an expense, and the distribution will reduce that liability.
