HM Land Registry is an executive agency, trading fund and government department.

HM Land Registry classifies a non-current asset as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sales transaction rather than through continuing use. To qualify the asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale must be highly probable. The cost of providing employee benefits is recognised in the period in which HM Land Registry receives services from its employees, rather than when it is paid or payable. Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which the employee renders the service. Performance payments are recognised only when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay them and the costs can be reliably estimated. Termination benefits are recognised when it can be demonstrated that there is an irreversible agreement to terminate the employment of employee(s) before the schemes’ retirement date or as a result of an offer to encourage voluntary redundancy.

The liability will become clearer as scheme participants reach retirement age in the next few years. An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts from the provision of services and this allowance has been determined by reference to past default experience.

• During the year investment property rental income of £0.38m was included within miscellaneous income (see note 3.1).
• We provide input to the actuaries on these assumptions, based on the knowledge of the legal team that handles the claims.
• The statement provides stakeholders with more detail in the change in equity between two accounting periods.

At present it is down to individual IFRS standards to direct when gains and losses are to be reclassified from OCI to SOPL as a reclassification adjustment. So rather than have a clear principles based approach on reclassification what we currently have is a rules based approach to this issue. If the effect of discounting is material, provisions are discounted to the expected present value of their future cash flows using a risk-free discount rate. bookkeeping for startups Provisions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income and recorded as liabilities in the statement of financial position. However, each material class of item is presented separately on the face of the profit and loss where they are relevant to an understanding of financial performance. It is likely an accounting policy will need to be included in the notes to the financial statements detailing what an entity determines as exceptional.

However, there is a general lack of agreement about which items should be presented in profit or loss and in OCI. The interaction between profit or loss and OCI is unclear, especially the notion of reclassification and when or which OCI items should be reclassified. A common misunderstanding is that the distinction is based upon realised versus unrealised gains. It is simply incorrect, to state that only realised gains are included in the statement of profit or loss (SOPL) and that only unrealised gains and losses are included in the OCI.
