1 | Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102 - Section 1A), the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships" issued in May 2024 (the "LLP SORP") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs under The Limited Liability Partners (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008 (“the Regulations”). These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to LLPs subject to the small LLPs regime and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) Section 1A, Small Entities.

General information and basis of accounting

The limited liability partnership is incorporated in the England and Wales under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000. The address of the registered office is given on the limited liability partnership information page. The nature of the limited liability partnership’s operations and its principal activities are given in the Members’ report.
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
The presentational currency of The Aspire Partnership LLP is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the limited liability partnership operates. Monetary amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound.

Going concern

After reviewing the LLP's forecasts and projections, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The LLP therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Judgements

In the application of the LLP's accounting policies, the members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The members necessarily make estimates and assumptions concerning the future in preparing the financial statements. The estimates and judgements made are continually evaluated based on historical and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed reasonable in the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will by definition seldom equal the related future actual outcome. The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below:

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Impairment of trade debtors - there is a risk that some debtor balances may be irrecoverable. An impairment provision is included based upon the profile of the outstanding trade debtors at the year end, and the facts and circumstances of each outstanding matter. The carrying amount is £- (2025 -£-).

Revenue recognition

Fee income represents the fair value of financial services provided during the year on client assignments. Fair value reflects the amounts expected to be recoverable from clients based on time spent, skills provided and expenses incurred, and excludes VAT. Income is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is secured, except where the final outcome cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty.
Unbilled recoverable amounts are included within debtors.
Disbursements incurred as agent for clients are excluded from revenue in accordance with FRS 102. If an impairment or write off has arisen, then these are expensed to the profit and loss account in administrative expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Members' remuneration and division of profits

Members’ division of profits are split between automatic and discretionary depending on the terms of the LLP agreement. Where remuneration is automatically paid to certain members under a contract of employment and is included as an expense in the profit and loss account after arriving at 'profit for the financial year before members' remuneration and profit shares'.
In addition, the limited liability partnership agreement provides that fixed amounts, determined for each member each year, be paid to members, irrespective of the profits of the partnership. These amounts are also included within members’ remuneration charged to the profit and loss account.
All amounts arising from the automatic division of profits, where the LLP does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or other assets based on the members’ agreement in force at the time, are recorded as liabilities under ‘loans and other debts due to members’.
A member's share of the profit or loss for the year is accounted for as an allocation of profits. Unallocated, discretionary profits and losses are included within 'other reserves' in the balance sheet and are subsequently treated per the terms of the LLP agreement.
Drawings are accounted for by member against the liabilities recorded under ‘loans and other debts due to members’. Amounts drawn by members against future divisions of profit (i.e. drawings on account) are loan assets repayable by members. A loan asset is extinguished when the member’s drawing on account is offset by a debt due to that member further to a division of profits or, for example, when repaid or waived in accordance with the LLP agreement.

Taxation

The taxation payable on the partnership's profits is the personal liability of the members. Consequently, neither partnership taxation nor related deferred taxation is accounted for in these financial statements.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are measured at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class | Depreciation method and rate
Computer equipment | 33% of cost
Fixtures and fittings | 20% of cost

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the limited liability partnership will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Members' interests

Members’ interests represent amounts due to or from members arising from profit allocations, drawings, tax payments, loans and annuity provisions.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the limited liability partnership has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The assets of the plan are held separately in independently administer funds. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
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 limited liability partnership intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2026

Recognition and Measurement

Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method:
(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate.
(b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.
(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law; or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).
(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.
(f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c).
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the limited liability partnership transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the limited liability partnership, despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party and the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
