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 Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had an increasingly significant effect on individuals, businesses and organisations worldwide, including JCP Legal Limited. The outbreak came into widespread public knowledge in 2020. The Directors have taken all necessary measures to satisfy themselves that the Company will continue to be able to operate throughout the current lockdown conditions and beyond. Therefore, the Company is considered to be a going concern and no adjustments have been made to the figures in these financial statements.
The Directors have considered the effect on the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company since the balance sheet date, as well as actual and expected future income and expenditure, cash flow requirements and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. They have taken steps to protect the workforce and the business, including its cash flow, so as to be able to maintain liquidity given that the effects of the current crisis are likely to last for several months. The company is dependent on the continuing support of the directors to meet its working capital requirements. The directors have indicated their support for the company for the foreseeable future.
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

∙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
