Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the accounting policies set out below.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

Turnover

Generally turnover is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company.

Income arising from annual conference and other events is recognised in the financial statements when the event occurs.

Income arising from sponsorship of events is recognised in the financial statements when the relevant event occurs.

Direct costs

Direct costs of the annual conference and other events are recognised when the amount of the expense can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic costs associated with the transaction will be incurred by the company.

Costs arising from the annual conference and other events are recognised in the financial statements when the event occurs.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the surplus as reported in the income and expenditure account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in the income and expenditure account, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Investments

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Trade and other 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.

Foreign currencies

Group accounts exemption

The company is a parent undertaking subject to the small companies regime. The company and its subsidiary undertaking comprise a small group. The company has therefor taken advantage of the option provided by Section 398 of the companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. The financial statements therefor present information in respect of the company as an individual entity.

Financial instruments

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are recognised and carried forward at transaction price. Financial assets are derecognised when:

(a) The contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled;

(b) Substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party; or

(c) Control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, and loans from third parties are initially recognised and carried forward at transaction price.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

The company has only financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic Financial instruments are recognised initially at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
