Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2017
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard) and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services.
Division of profits
Profits are treated as being available for discretionary division only if the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment of the profits of a particular year unless and until the members agree to divide them. Profits are otherwise automatically divided and included under Members’ remuneration charged as an expense in the profit and loss account.
Taxation
Taxation is not provided for in the accounts as taxation is the personal liability of the members. Any amounts held by the LLP on behalf of members in respect of their tax liabilities are treated as debts due to members.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery over 5 years
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions (i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Members' capital
Members' capital is classified as debt and not equity if there is a contractual obligation for the LLP to repay the capital to members, even if that obligation is conditional.
2 Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that effect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

Goodwill:
Goodwill, which relates to the acquisition of blocks of clients is capitalised and amortised over five years and assessed for impairment annually. The estimated life and impairment indicators and assumptions used in the impairment test are key judgements.

10 Restatement of prior year
Periodically in recent periods FWP has purchased and sold client blocks as a representative and Partner Practice of St. James’ Wealth Management Plc (“SJWM”). SJWM has facilitated related funding for these transactions. Part of the costs of acquisition, loan funding, amortisation, interest and related fee income of a number of acquisitions prior to 31 December 2016, together with one sale, were omitted from the prior year accounts. Accordingly the accounts have been restated to incorporate the net impact of omitted transactions associated with client acquisitions and disposals. The change has resulted in additional profits available for distribution to members at 31st December 2016 with this amount being allocated to members interest.
