2	Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except any items disclosed in the accounting policies as being shown at fair value and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

The company made a profit for the year ended 31 December 2023 and had net assets at that date amounting to £492,833 including cash at bank of £559,401. The company's cash flow forecasts indicate that the company has sufficient working capital for a period exceeding twelve months from the approval of the financial statements.

On the basis of the above, and after making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Turnover consists of brokerage, commission and fees receivable for the arrangement of insurance in the normal course of the company's activities and is stated net of IPT and discounts or rebates.

The company recognises commission and fees arising from insurance broking activities on the effective date that the insurance policy commences.

Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

PMJ Risk Solutions Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

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 taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.

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

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Furniture, fittings and equipment	20% straight line

Insurance broking assets and liabilities

The company, in the course of carrying on insurance broking activities, handles client money in accordance with the Financial Authority Client Asset Sourcebook rules. Under these rules, the company co-mingles monies defined as belonging to clients and monies defined as belonging to insurers (known as risk transfer monies) in segregated bank accounts that are subject to a statutory trust.

In addition to economic benefit derived from the retention of investment income, the company also has control over the operation of the bank accounts in relation to the settlement of accounts with other intermediaries, clients, insurers and market settlement bureaux.

Given the nature of the trust arrangements under which monies are held and the control that the company exerts over the operation of the segregated bank accounts, the Directors consider it appropriate to disclose only the net balance of insurance broking assets and liabilities as an asset of the company itself, representing income due and payable to the company for its own bank account to be transferred from the segregated bank accounts at the appropriate time in accordance with FCA Client Asset Sourcebook rules.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

The average number of persons employed by the company during the year, was 9 (2022 - 7).
