The smallest consolidated financial statements presented are that of Clanwilliam Headquarters Limited at 31 December 2022, in which equivalent consolidated disclosures can be found. These financial statements are available from Companies Registration Office, Bloom House, Gloucester Place Lower, Dublin 2.The Company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. The Company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below: Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Financial assets All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets.Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, when the financial liability is held for trading, or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. This designation may be made if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise, or the financial liability forms part of a group of financial instruments which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, or the financial liability forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. At amortised cost Financial liabilities which are neither contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading, nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.truetruetruetrue0truetruetruetruetruetruetruetruetruetruetruetruetrue2022-01-010 10634648 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 2021-01-01 2021-12-31 10634648 2022-12-31 10634648 2021-12-31 10634648 2021-01-01 10634648 1 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:Director1 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:Director3 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:RegisteredOffice 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:Agent1 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2022-12-31 10634648 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2021-12-31 10634648 c:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2022-12-31 10634648 c:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2021-12-31 10634648 c:ShareCapital 2022-12-31 10634648 c:ShareCapital 2021-12-31 10634648 c:ShareCapital 2021-01-01 10634648 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-12-31 10634648 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2021-01-01 2021-12-31 10634648 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2021-12-31 10634648 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2021-01-01 10634648 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2021-01-01 2021-12-31 10634648 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2022-12-31 10634648 d:EntityHasNeverTraded 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:FRS101 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:Audited 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:FullAccounts 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 d:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 c:FinancialInstrumentsDesignatedFairValueThroughProfitOrLoss 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 10634648 6 2022-01-01 2022-12-31 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

Directors' responsibilities statement
For the year ended 31 December 2022

The directors are responsible for preparing 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 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’.

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

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Maxwell Stanley Consulting Investments Limited
 
Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Maxwell Stanley Consulting Investments Limited, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 December 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.  

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’.


In our opinion, Maxwell Stanley Consulting Investments Limited's financial statements:


give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; 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 'Responsibilities of the auditor 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, namely the FRC's Ethical Standard and the ethical pronouncements established by Chartered Accountants Ireland, applied as determined to be appropriate in the circumstances of the entity. 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 the date 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.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Maxwell Stanley Consulting Investments Limited (continued)



Other information


Other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon, including the Directors' report. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.


In connection with our audit of the financial statementsour 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies in the financial statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.


Opinions 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 Directors' report for the year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements, and 
the Directors' report  has 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 we have obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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; or

the directors were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemptions from the  requirement to prepare a strategic report or in preparing the Directors' report.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Maxwell Stanley Consulting Investments Limited (continued)

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS101 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, management is 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 management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.


Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements
 

The objectives of an auditor 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 Auditor's report that includes their 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.

A further description of an auditor's 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 auditor's report.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with Employment laws in the UK, Health and Safety Regulation in the UK, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulation that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the UK tax legislation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions. We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements.

Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)

In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to:

inquiries of management and board on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
inspection of the Company’s regulatory and legal correspondence and review of minutes of board meetings during the year to corroborate inquiries made;
gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud;
discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit;
identifying and testing journal entries to address the risk of inappropriate journals and management override of controls;
designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing;
challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates including estimating allowance for impairment of fixed asset investments and going concern; an 
review of the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management.

The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
 

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.4

Going concern

In preparing the financial statements the directors consider it appropriate to continue to use the going concern assumption, which assumes the Company will have sufficient resources to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due, including adequate financial support. During the year the Company incurred a profit of £Nil (2021: profit of £2,000,000) and at that date, the Company had net deficit of £1,273,167 (2021: £1,273,167). The directors have received confirmation from the Company’s ultimate parent company that they will provide the necessary financial resources to meet the Company’s obligations as and when they fall due to the extent that financial resources are not otherwise available, for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of signing of the financial statements. The parent will also show forbearance if required in demanding repayment of the amount due to them until the company has sufficient resources to meet the obligation. Based on the above, the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis and the financial statements do not contain any adjustment should this parental support not be forthcoming.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.6

Debtors

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

 
2.7

Financial instruments

The Company recognises financial instruments when it becomes a party to the contractual arrangements of the instrument. Financial instruments are de-recognised when they are discharged or when the contractual terms expire. The Company's accounting policies in respect of financial instruments transactions are explained below:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. 

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either fair value or amortised cost, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables and amounts due on contracts with customers. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Financial liabilities

Fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, when the financial liability is held for trading, or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. This designation may be made if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise, or the financial liability forms part of a group of financial instruments which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, or the financial liability forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IFRS 9 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

2.7
Financial instruments (continued)

At amortised cost
Financial liabilities which are neither contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading, nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

 
2.8

Creditors

Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.

Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.9

 Taxation

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 reporting 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 reporting 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 reporting date.

 
2.10

 Dividend income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgments and estimates.

Impairment of assets
The Company reviews its investment in a subsidiary for any indicators of impairment in value. Determining whether the carrying value of financial assets has been impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the investment in subsidiaries. This also takes into account other impairment indicators such as projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends.

Going concern
As described in the basis of preparation, the validity of the going concern basis is dependent upon assurances provided from its ultimate parent company, that it will provide financial support for a period not less than 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements. The directors have reasonable expectation that the ultimate parent company will fulfil these assurances. For this reason the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
