Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The company holds basic financial instruments which comprise, trade and other debtors, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other creditors and related party loans.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise, cash in hand and deposits held in bank.
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at the transaction price, including any transaction costs, less any provision for impairment. At the end of each year the company assesses whether there is evidence to indicate that the company will not be able to collect all of the amount due according to the original terms of the financial asset. The amount of any provision, if required, is recognised immediately in the statement of income and retained earnings.
Trade and other creditors are initially measured at the transaction price, including any transactions costs. Amounts that are payable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be payable.
