Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts
for the Year Ended 31 August 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015).

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 8 Related
Party Disclosures, not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover
Revenue from the sale of services shall be recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
- the entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the services;
- the entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership
nor effective control over the services sold;
- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity;
- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue is not recognised if its recoverability is considered to be uncertain.

Revenue for services rendered is recorded in the profit & loss when the service has been provided to the
customer.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Stocks and work in progress
Work in progress is stated as the recoverable amount for work undertaken not invoiced at the year end date .
This is calculated at applicable charge out out rates adjusted for expected recovery.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
balance sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held
under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance
leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension
scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.
