Intangible assets policy
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible asets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible asset, being goodwill, was the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2014 and is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Revenue recognition policy
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
