As a practising member firm of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), we are subject to its ethical and other professional requirements which are detailed at http://www.icaew.com/en/members/regulations-standards-and-guidance.

This report is made solely to the Board of Directors of CSL Computer Services LLP, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our work has been undertaken solely to prepare for your approval the financial statements of CSL Computer Services LLP and state those matters that we have agreed to state to the Board of Directors of CSL Computer Services LLP, as a body, in this report in accordance with ICAEW Technical Release 07/16 AAF. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than CSL Computer Services LLP and its Board of Directors as a body, for our work or for this report.

It is your duty to ensure that CSL Computer Services LLP has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of CSL Computer Services LLP. You consider that CSL Computer Services LLP is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the period.

We have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of CSL Computer Services LLP. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and we do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.

The members of the limited liability partnership have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.

For the financial period ended 31 December 2017 the limited liability partnership was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 (as applied by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008).

The members acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act (as applied to limited liability partnerships) with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts.

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to limited liability partnerships subject to the small limited liability partnerships' regime.

CSL Computer Services LLP is a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Old Surgery, Ercall Heath, Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom, TF10 8NH.

The limited liability partnership's principal activities are disclosed in the Members' Report.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships" issued in January 2017, together with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2017 are the first financial statements of CSL Computer Services LLP prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 21 December 2015. The reported financial position and financial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.

Turnover represents the amounts recoverable for the services provided to clients, excluding value added tax, under contractual obligations which are performed gradually over time.

If, at the Balance sheet date, completion of contractual obligations is dependent on external factors (and thus outside the control of the Limited Liability Partnership), then revenue is recognised only when the event occurs. In such cases, costs incurred up to the Balance sheet date are carried forward as work in progress.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account.

The average number of persons (excluding members) employed by the partnership during the period was 2 (2016 - 2).

In the event of a winding up the amounts included in "Loans and other debts due to members" will rank equally with unsecured creditors.
