The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover represents fees earned net of VAT, fees being accounted for as work is performed. Income from conditional assignments is recognised when it can be estimated reliably, revenue is calculated by reference to the stage of completion on the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

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
Motor Vehicles- 20% on cost
Computer Equipment- 25% on reducing balance

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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

Amounts recoverable on contracts
Amounts recoverable on contracts represents the estimated selling value of work done by the balance sheet date where the LLP has not yet raised an invoice for the work done.

Taxation
Taxation payable on the profits of the LLP is a personal liability of the members. As such, no provision is made in these accounts.

Allocation of profits and drawings
On approval of the annual financial statements, all profits/losses for the period are allocated to members.

The level and timing of any drawings is decided by the members, taking into account the LLP's cash requirements for operating and investing activities. Drawings represent payments on account of current period profits or draw down of the Members Account.

Pensions
The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the firm in an independently administered fund. The pension contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account.
