Turnover

Turnover represents net invoiced amounts for services, excluding value added tax.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill relates to a number of business acquisitions, which are being amortised evenly over their individual estimated useful lives as follows:

A business acquired in 2002, which is now fully amortised.

A business acquisition in 2023, which is being amortised over 5 years.

A business acquisition in 2024, which is being amortised over 10 years.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets relate to amounts paid for the benefit of the client contracts acquired from a business purchased in the prior year, and are being amortised over 10 years.

Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, these are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets

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

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on cost

Computer equipment

-

33% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
