Strategic Report
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Introduction
 
The Directors present their Strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Business review
 
During the 2021 financial period, the economy saw an increase in recovery from the effects of the pandemic. The insurance industry like many others adapted to different ways of working, with the introduction of hybrid working for many businesses.  The insurance market began to harden with premium increases across many sectors.  Our investment in technology enabled an efficient transition to home working when needed with no interruption to the business.
The Company saw a good trading performance, with a slight increase in turnover to £15.073m (
2020: £14.590m) and a slight increase in gross profit to £3.73m (2020: £3.67m). Our network strategy continues to focus on acquiring and retaining appointed representatives who write good quality commercial business sharing a likeminded ethos, with customer centricity at the heart of their businesses. To do this, we have continued focus on creating good customer outcomes within a strong regulatory control environment. The net result has been a stability with member numbers, further consolidating our position as the preferred market leading independent Network for Appointed Representatives.
Strategic Review
During 2021 the company continued working on our strategic review to ensure the best outcomes for our business.
1. Technology – During the reporting period, we completed the transition to one system, with active involvement from   senior management throughout, to ensure robust systems and controls are secure for the future. Our high-quality data   is driving better business decisions, enhanced customer service and management information.
2. Premium Finance - Our relationship with our finance provider Close Brothers has continued to prosper which in turn   has delivered significant ongoing benefits in loan arrangements for our customers. By the end of the reporting    period, we financed over £20m. 
3. Balance sheet optimisation – 2021 saw the strengthening of our finance department, taking greater control and    having a positive impact.  Our systems and controls enable us to react positively to the changes to the regulatory    framework required.

Strategic Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Restructuring costs
 
As noted in the 2019 and 2020 financial report, management had identified issues with the Company's financial records and had spent significant time working to rectify these. This led to some significant adjustments to the Company's balance sheet, leading to amounts being posted to exceptional administrative expenses.
The work to monitor these balances continued into 2021 and 2022 and the focus is now largely on aged credit balances in both debtors and creditors. With the benefit of hindsight, and further investigation, it can now be seen that a number of items previously classed as invalid were indeed valid creditors, and as a result further adjustments of £196,755 have been processed as exceptional administrative expenditure in the current year to correct these.
Whilst it is disappointing that further adjustments have been needed in respect of these legacy issues, it should be noted that they are exactly that - legacy issues. The situation is improving and management is confident that the worst of this is now behind us.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The directors consider that the main business risks and uncertainties of the Company are:
- The loss of key staff affecting the Company; 
- Adapting to market changing conditions quickly; 
- The ever-increasing pressure from cyber crime;
- The retention of quality Appointed Representatives;
- Regulation and compliance from the Financial Conduct Authority;
- Adapting to increasing competition. 
The Company continues to reward and encourage its staff by investing in training and development. As the main trading Company, the Company has maintained its Chartered Status awarded by the professional body, the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
The Company continues to fully support staff in their personal professional development and the Employee Ownership Trust encourages full staff engagement.
Investment will continue to be made in technology and people to manage and develop our range of services, while producing profitable results. Our Appointed Representatives receive strong support in many areas to assist in running their businesses and, as a result, our retention rates remain high.
The Company continues to invest heavily in compliance support and training in association with professional external consultants who support us in our role of keeping the business and Appointed Representatives informed and in-line with compliance and regulatory requirements.
The directors review monthly the risks facing the Company and seek to avoid or mitigate those risks as appropriate, which is further supported by our Compliance Committee.

Directors' Report
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Results and dividends

The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £101,425 (2020 - loss £122,349).

No dividends (2020 : £nil) were paid during the year. The Directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend.
Contributions to the ultimate owner, The Enterprise Network Trust, totalled £9,182 (
2020: £66,838).

Directors

The directors who served during the year were:

D S Brown 
P Sykes 
J K Rhodes 
C Halliday (resigned 25 October 2021)
D Skidmore (appointed 16 December 2021)

Future developments

The Board is committed to continue building an effective, compliant, and profitable business supporting a network of Appointed Representatives across the UK, each of whom bring complimentary benefits to the business. The focus for the future will be to continue to strengthen our regulatory framework, working closer with our Appointed Representatives to continue to deliver good customer outcomes.

Directors' Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and

the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Going concern

Whilst competition has grown in our field of operation, the business continues to provide a wide range of insurance products and offers strong support to our members, resulting in an offset of downturns in some lines of business with upturns in others. We believe that strong relationships across the network will bring significant benefits for Appointed Representatives, their customers, and the Company. During the year, the business continued to implement and amend its robust business continuity plan successfully with no interruptions to the business arising. We have implemented additional frameworks to further support our regulatory responsibilities both to the FCA and our customers.
The Directors have prepared forecasts and are satisfied that the company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. These accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, and the Directors consider it appropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
Post balance sheet events
There were no post balance sheet events that require disclosure in the financial statements.

Auditors

The auditorsHurst Accountants Limitedwill be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of TEn Insurance Services Limited
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of TEn Insurance Services Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.


Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of TEn Insurance Services Limited (continued)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
• The nature of the industry and sector in which the company operates; the control environment and business     performance including key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets.
• The outcome of enquiries of local management and parent company management, including whether management    was aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and whether management had knowledge   of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud. 
• Supporting documentation relating to the Company's policies and procedures for:
    - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations
    - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud
• The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
• The outcome of discussions amongst the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the    financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
• The legal and regulatory framework in which the Company operates, particularly those laws and regulations which    have a direct effect on the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006, pensions and tax legislation, or    which had a fundamental effect on the operations of the Company, including the regulations of the Financial    Conduct Authority, the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000, General Data Protection requirements, and Anti-   bribery and Corruption.
Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
• Reviewing the financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with    the provisions of those relevant laws and regulations which have a direct effect on the financial statements.
• Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with    laws and regulations and fraud.
• Evaluation and testing of the operating effectiveness of management’s controls designed to prevent and detect    irregularities.
• Enquiring of management about any actual and potential litigation and claims.
• Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships which may indicate risks of    material misstatement due to fraud.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of TEn Insurance Services Limited (continued)


We have also considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls by:
• Testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
• Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, and assessing whether the    judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
• Evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of    business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of them.  Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1.


General information

TEn Insurance Services Limited is a company limited by share capital incorporated in England and Wales. The company number is 05225049. The company's registered office is Lancashire Gate, 21 Tiviot Dale, Stockport, SK1 1TD, and its principal place of business is Suite 57, Midshires Summer House, Smeaton Close, Aylesbury, HP19 8HL.
The principal activity of the company for the year under review was that of insurance broking.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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 the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Ten Operations, Services and Holdings Limited as at 31 December 2021 and these financial statements may be obtained from The Registrar.

 
2.3

Going concern

The business continues to provide a wide range of insurance products and offers strong support to its members, resulting in an offset of downturns in some lines of business with upturns in others. The directors believe that strong relationships across the network will bring significant benefits for Appointed Representatives, their customers, and the Company. During the year, the business continued to implement and amend its robust business continuity plan successfully with no interruptions to the business arising. Additional frameworks have been implemented to further support the regulatory responsibilities both to the FCA and the Company's customers.
The Directors have prepared forecasts and are satisfied that the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. These accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, and the Directors consider it appropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue 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 revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

Revenue receivable on insurance contracts that the company assists in executing is recognised when the associated insurance policy activities. 
Other revenue is recognised in the period to which it relates.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

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, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Finance costs

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.

 
2.9

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

 
2.10

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company 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 Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.11

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance Sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 
2.12

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.13

Tangible fixed assets

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.

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:

Long-term leasehold property
-
10%
straight line
Motor vehicles
-
20%
straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
25%
straight line
Computer equipment
-
25%
straight line

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.14

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.15

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.16

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.

 
2.17

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company 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 profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet 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 Balance Sheet.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.18

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates that affect amounts recognised for assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the reporting period. Actual outcomes may differ from these judgements, estimates and assumptions. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities of the Company as at 31 December 2021 are discussed below:
Estimates
Provisions against insurance debtors
Debtor recovery is largely delegated to the company's appointed representatives who won the business. During the year, management reviewed a number of debtor accounts to determine whether any provisions were required. In total, a provision of £41,479 (2020: £17,479) was recognised against insurance debtors.
Judgements
Income recognition
Management review all income streams, and, where material, make appropriate adjustments in respect of effective dates when compared to invoice dates, and for other income (such as profit share) when it is due in a different period to which it is received.


4.


Turnover

The whole of the turnover is attributable to the company's principal activity as described in note 1.

All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.

During 2019, management became aware that there were a number of issues surrounding the company's financial records going back and accumulated over several years, which resulted in a significant number of items in the company's accounts being found to be over-stated, erroneous or duplicated. Such issues continued to a lesser extent into the prior year. At the end of the current year, management have reviewed adjustments made in respect of invalid balances, and have identified a number of items, previously classed as invalid, that are now deemed to be valid liabilities that have subsequently been paid to insurers or policyholders as appropriate. 
After a detailed analysis of all balances, a number of adjustments were made. The net effect of the adjustments was a charge to the Statement of comprehensive income of £196,755 (
2020: £37,748).
During the prior year, a fellow subsidiary within the group ceased to trade. Management reviewed the balances owed to the company by that subsidiary and deemed those amounts irrecoverable. As a result, £58,258 has been written off to the Statement of comprehensive income.
During the prior year, it was identified that credit card commission fees had not been processed in the accounts. As part of this exercise, historic items of £149,251 were charged to the Statement of comprehensive income.
