1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements for the year ended 31st August 2017 are the first financial statements of Northwest

Law Services Limited prepared in accordance with FRS 102 Section 1A small entities, The Financial

Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 Section

1A small entities was 1st September 2015. An explanation of how transition to FRS 102 has affected the

reported financial position and financial performance is given in note 8.

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about North West Law Services (Holdings) Limited as an

individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The

company has taken the option under Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated

financial statements.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The

Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party

transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from

other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors

that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying

assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period

in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and

future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation include uncertainties at the

reporting date, which may have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and

liabilities within the next financial periods, are discussed below.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to

the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

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

balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different

from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and

laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the

reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with bank,

other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12

'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company

becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when

there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net

basis or to realise the net asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction

price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest

method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the

present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as

receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or

joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are

subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that

investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured

reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Short-term employee benefits

The costs of the short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs

are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday

entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are

recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the

employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion

of the company.
