Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 March 2026
Pollard Thomas Edwards LLP (OC395916) was incorporated and is registered in England and Wales. The registered office and principal place of business is Diespeker Wharf, 38 Graham Street, London, N1 8JX.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships".
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The LLP has sufficient liquid resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and the members believe the LLP will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.Therefore the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the LLP and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover arising from the provision of architectural services is assessed on a contract by contract basis and reflected in the profit or loss by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. Turnover is calculated as the proportion of total contract value which contract costs to date bear to total expected contract costs.
The amount by which turnover exceeds payments on account is classified as "amounts recoverable under contracts" and included within debtors. To the extent that payments on account exceed turnover, the excess is included as a creditor. A provision is made for anticipated losses on contracts. Movement in the provision for losses on contracts is included in cost of sales.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets (continued)
|
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over the remaining life of the lease
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Amounts recoverable under contracts
|
Amounts recoverable under contracts represent work done at the year end where a continuing right to receive income exists and is valued at the estimated amount recoverable in excess of fees already rendered.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
The LLP only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Taxation of all of the LLP's profits is solely the personal liability of individual members and is not dealt with in these financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

|
Provisions for liabilities
|
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the LLP a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of comprehensive income in the year that the LLP becomes aware of the obligation and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Defined contribution pension plan
The LLP operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the LLP pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the LLP has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the LLP in independently administered funds.
Members' remuneration charged as an expense in the profit or loss relates to amounts payable under contractual agreements. The balance of the profit for the year, available for discretionary division amongst the members, is treated as members' equity in the balance sheet until it is formally allocated to the members at the year end.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees during the year was 58 (2025 -61).
