| for the Year Ended 31 March 2018 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Acorn Fostering Services Limited is a |
| registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| General information and basis of preparation |
| The nature of the company's operations and principle activities are that of the provision of fostering services. |
| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest |
| pound £. |
| 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. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents net invoiced fostering placement and student placement charges, excluding value added tax. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any |
| accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Furniture, fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer and office equipment | - |
| 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. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are |
| charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
