ASHFIELD RISK TRANSFER SOLUTIONS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the current financial position of
the company and likely future cash flows.
After making appropriate enquiries and reviewing the company's forecasts, examining those areas
which could give rise to financial exposure, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the
company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities
|
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction
costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are
initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs),
unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a finance
transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year are measured at the
undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of
impairment. Non current debt instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the financial asset expire or are settled, the company transfers to another party substantially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or the company, despite having retained some
significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party and
the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is
able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the
transfer.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expires.
