ACCOUNTS - Final Accounts preparation


Caseware UK (AP4) 2023.0.135 2023.0.135 These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (“FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small company’s regime. The disclosure requirements of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view. 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 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 judgments 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 2006. They 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.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. 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.2022-07-01false5411truefalse 04664435 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 2023-06-30 04664435 2022-06-30 04664435 2021-07-01 04664435 1 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:Exceptional 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:Exceptional 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 d:CompanySecretary1 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director2 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director3 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director3 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director4 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director4 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director5 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Director5 2023-06-30 04664435 d:RegisteredOffice 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Agent1 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:FurnitureFittings 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:FurnitureFittings 2023-06-30 04664435 c:FurnitureFittings 2022-06-30 04664435 c:FurnitureFittings c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:OfficeEquipment 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:OfficeEquipment 2023-06-30 04664435 c:OfficeEquipment 2022-06-30 04664435 c:OfficeEquipment c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2023-06-30 04664435 c:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2022-06-30 04664435 c:ShareCapital 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:ShareCapital 2023-06-30 04664435 c:ShareCapital 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 c:ShareCapital 2022-06-30 04664435 c:ShareCapital 2021-07-01 04664435 c:SharePremium 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:SharePremium 2023-06-30 04664435 c:SharePremium 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 c:SharePremium 2022-06-30 04664435 c:SharePremium 2021-07-01 04664435 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-06-30 04664435 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2022-06-30 04664435 c:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2021-07-01 04664435 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2021-07-01 2022-06-30 04664435 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2023-06-30 04664435 d:OrdinaryShareClass1 2022-06-30 04664435 d:FRS102 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:Audited 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:FullAccounts 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 d:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 4 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 04664435 6 2022-07-01 2023-06-30 xbrli:shares iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

Independent auditor's report to the members of Thesaurus Software LTD
 
Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Thesaurus Software LTD, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity for the financial year ended 30 June 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.  

The 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, Thesaurus Software LTD'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 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the financial 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.

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 financial 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 Thesaurus Software LTD (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 FRS102 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).

Independent auditor's report to the members of Thesaurus Software LTD (continued)

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)

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

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 legal correspondence and review of minutes of board meetings during the financial 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 impairment assessment of investments; and
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.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2023

1.


General information

Thesaurus Software LTD is a private company limited by shares, registered in UK with registration number of 04664435. The registered address is 3 Shortlands, London, England.

The Company is primarily engaged in the provision of payroll software development. 

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 judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).

  
2.2

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company is itself a subsidiary company of P3R Midco 1 Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland, and is exempt from the requirement to prepare group accounts by virtue of the Companies Act 2014 section 299. The consolidated financial statements can be obtained from Unit 35 Duleek Business Park, Duleek. Co. Meath, Ireland. These financial statements therefore present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.

  
2.3

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The cost of the a business combination is the fair value of the consideration given, liabilities incurred or assumed and of equity instruments issued plus the costs directly attributable to the business combination.

 
2.4

Going concern

After reviewing the Company’s forecasts and projections, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
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.

 
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

Pensions

Defined contribution plan

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in finance costs in profit and loss in the period in which it arises.

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.

2.9

 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:

Fixtures and fittings
-
20%
Office equipment
-
20%

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.

 
2.10

 Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.11

 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.

 
2.12

 Cash at bank

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

 
2.13

 Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, inclusive of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Bad debts provision
The Company estimates the bad debts provision related to its debtors based on assessment of specific accounts when the Company has information that certain counterparties are unable to meet their financial obligations. In these cases, judgment used was based on the best available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to, the length of relationship with the counterparty and the counterparty’s current credit status based on credit reports and known market factors. The Company used judgment to record specific reserves for counterparties against amounts due to reduce the expected collectible amounts. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information received impacts the amounts estimated. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or different estimates were utilised.

Establishing useful economic lives for depreciation purposes of tangible fixed assets
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of tangible fixed assets, comprise a significant portion of the total assets. The annual depreciation charge depends primarily on the estimated useful economic lives of each type of asset and estimates of residual values. The Directors regularly review these asset useful economic lives and change them as necessary to reflect current thinking on remaining lives in light of prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned. Changes in asset useful lives can have a significant impact on depreciation and amortisation charges for the period. Detail of the useful economic lives is included in the accounting policies.

Impairment
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash- generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

Factors that may affect future tax charges

The Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 reduced the standard rate of corporation tax to 19%, effective from 1 April 2017. A further reduction in the UK corporation tax rate to 17% was expected to come into effect from 1 April 2020, however, legislation in the Finance Act 2020, enacted in July 2020, repealed this reduction. The Finance Act 2021 included measures to increase the standard rate of UK corporation tax to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023.
