|
Turnover |
Turnover represents the value of services provided during the year. This value represents the amounts expected |
to be recovered from clients based upon time spent and expenses incurred excluding VAT. Fee income is |
recognised as the service provided progresses and the right to consideration is secured, except in respect of |
certain services whereby the final outcome cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty. |
|
Fee income in respect of contingent fee services is recognised in the period in that the contingent service occurs |
when it can be assured the fee can be collected. |
|
Unbilled fee income for services provided is included as work in progress within other debtors. |
|
Turnover also includes salaries earned by the members personally which has been taxed at source. Income tax |
and national insurance deductions have been taken to the relevant member's current account. |
|
Goodwill |
|
|
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. |

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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element |
of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
|
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 LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme |
are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
|
Disbursements |
Disbursements are not included within fee income or expenses, but are netted off against each other. |
