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:
At the balance sheet date the company had net liabilities of £28,251 and is reliant on a loan from its immediate parent undertaking of £34,266 who have confirmed their intention to continue to support the company for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
After reviewing the company’s current position and that of the next 12 months, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern.
On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the withdrawal of the aforementioned support
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 and rebates.
Revenue comprises agency commissions due to the company and is recognised in the period in which the relevant performance or event has taken place.
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
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.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
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 and loans from related parties. For financing transactions, the present value of the future payments is calculated using the market rate of interest for similar debt instruments and adjusted if material.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 3 (2021 - 3).
