|
Solace In Business Ltd is a
|
|
The company's functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling £. All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest £, unless otherwise stated. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
Going concern |
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In preparing the accounts the directors have considered possible risks, events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and therefore on the appropriate use of the going concern basis. |
|
Regularly monitoring the operational and financial performance of the company is part of the routine activities of executive management (monthly) and the board of directors (quarterly). This includes detailed management accounts and the analysis of pipeline activity (income and margins), together with performance indicators ranging from opportunity conversion rates to customer satisfaction across all areas of activity. Financial forecasts for the period through to 31 August 2023 have, together with current reserves and cash balances, also been reviewed as part of that regular monitoring activity. Based on such reviews and related enquiries, the directors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore they have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
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 statement of financial position date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
|
Pensions |
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for employees. The annual contributions are charged to the income statement. |
|
Leased assets and obligations |
Operating leases and the annual rentals are charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. |
|
Gift aid distribution to parent charity |
Profits over and above those needed to meet the company's working capital requirements are transferred to the parent charity, The Society of Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers (Solace Group) Ltd , by way of a gift aid distribution. As no legal obligation exists, the distributions in respect of the current and comparative year represent amounts paid as at the balance sheet date. |
