Mrs M B Bailey - Designated member

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Carter Perry Bailey LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of these financial statements is Sterling (£), being the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (its functional currency). All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound unless stated otherwise.

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

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The designated members have reviewed and assessed the potential impact on the LLP over the next twelve months including the LLP's capital resources and considers that the LLP has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The designated members believe that the LLP will continue to operate as a going concern.

Turnover

The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts receivable for services supplied during the period, exclusive of Value Added Tax.

In respect of contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the period, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Computer equipment

straight line

33%

The estimation of residual values and useful lives includes an estimate of the intensity at which the assets are expected to be used. The carrying value of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Members' participation rights

Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the partnership agreement.

Amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classed as equity. Where profits are automatically divided as they arise, so the LLP does not have an unconditional right to refuse payment, the amounts arising that are due to members are in the nature of liabilities. They are therefore treated as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account in the relevant year. To the extent that they remain unpaid at the year end, they are shown as liabilities in the Balance Sheet.

Other amounts applied to members, for example remuneration paid under an employment contract and interest on capital balances, are treated in the same way as all other divisions of profits, as described above, according to whether the LLP has, in each case, an unconditional right to refuse payment.

All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the Balance Sheet within "Loans and other debts due to members" and are charged to the Profit and Loss Account within "Members' remuneration charged as an expense". Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the Balance Sheet within "Members' other interests".
