Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction.

Leasing and hire purchase

Assets obtained under hire purchase and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and depreciated over their useful lives.

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

We confirm that as directors we have met our duty in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 to:

-	ensure that the company has kept proper accounting records;

-	prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at 31 December 2020 and of its loss for that period in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	follow the applicable accounting policies, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the notes to the financial statements.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

P Heath - Director

21 September 2021

The following reproduces the text of the report prepared for the directors in respect of the company's annual unaudited financial statements. In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the company is only required to file a Statement of Financial Position. Readers are cautioned that the Income Statement and certain other primary statements and the Report of the Directors are not required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies.

We have reviewed the financial statements of Professional Lighting and Sound Association Limited for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position and the related notes 1 to 0. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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'.

This report is made solely to the company's directors, as a body, in accordance with our terms of engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the directors those matters that we have agreed with them in our engagement letter and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's directors as a body for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' responsibility for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page nil, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.

Accountants' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on our review of the financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), 'Engagements to review historical financial statements' and ICAEW Technical Release TECH 09/13AAF 'Assurance review engagements on historical financial statements'. ISRE 2400 also requires us to comply with the ICAEW Code of Ethics.

Scope of the assurance review

A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed additional procedures to those required under a compilation engagement. These primarily consist of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements have not been prepared:

-	so as to give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its loss for the year then ended;

-	in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
