1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Boyd Rice Solicitors Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Northern Ireland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements and estimates

The following judgements and estimates have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

- Value of goodwilll

The value of goodwill is assessed annually by the directors with any indicators of impairment considered. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and the business in general.

- Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual value of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually.

- Valuation of work in progress

Estimates are made in respect of the valuation of work in progress. When assessing the value of work in progress estimates are made of the costs incurred and the final fee on ongoing cases at the year end. Values are included only when they are considered recoverable. Consideration is also given to bills issued after the year end.

- Recoverability of debtors

Estimates are made in respect of the recoverable value of trade debtors. Impairment of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis having regard to the ageing profile of the debtors. Where a debtor balance is not considered recoverable then it is expensed in the year.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates and value added tax.

Goodwill

Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2017, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property

-

2% on cost

Improvements to property

-

5% on reducing balance

Fixtures, fittings & equipment

-

25% on reducing balance

Computer equipment

-

33% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Financial instruments

All financial instruments of the company are considered to meet the definition of basic financial instruments.

- Short term debtors and creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate are receivable or payable on demand are recognised at transaction price, and subject to annual impairment reviews. Any losses arising on impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account.

- Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.

- Loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recorded at the present value of cash payable to the lender in settlement of the liability discounted at the market interest rate. Subsequently loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The computation of amortised cost includes any issue costs, transaction costs and fees, and any discount or premium on settlement, and the effect of this is to amortise these amounts over the expected borrowing period. Loans with no stated interest rate and repayable within one period or on demand are not amortised. Loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the borrower has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the financial period end date.

Other financial instruments, including investments in equity instruments are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

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.

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The annual contributions are charged to the profit and loss account.
