There is no impact to profit/loss before or after taxation, reported equity, or net assets in any of the previous financial
periods.
The revised accounting policy is given below.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when
there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the relevant conditions and the grant will be received.
Government grants are recognised in
the consolidated income statement, either on a systematic basis when the Group recognises, as expenses, the related costs that the grants are intended to compensate or immediately, if the costs have already been incurred.
Government grants related to income are presented as an offset against the related expenditure except in cases where there are no ongoing performance
obligations to the Group, in which case the government grant is recognised as other income in the period in which the Group becomes entitled to the grant.
Government grants related to assets are presented gross as separate liabilities and unwound over the useful economic lives of the assets as other income.
Cash flows arising from grants related to income and assets are presented within cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.
The terms and treatment of each grant is assessed on a case by case basis.
Sales tax incentives received from governments are recognised in the consolidated income statement at the reduced tax rate, and revenue is reported net of
these sales tax incentives.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these
condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimate uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Going concern
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider appropriate for the reasons
set out below.
The Directors have assessed the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023, and the projected cash flows of the Group for at
least the twelve-month period from the date of authorisation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the going concern assessment period).
