1. Accounting policies
Basis of measurement and preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102 Turnover policy
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. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:Computer Equipment 25% straight line Other accounting policies
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Matter of Place Architects CIC (MOPA) are an architectural practice specializing in environmentally conscious design for complex sites, existing and listed buildings. Good urban design makes a significant contribution to the wellbeing of a community. As architects and designers, MOPA look to maximise the contribution of their work in the development of a fair, responsible and equitable society.MOPA help people build and redevelop buildings across the UK from our base in Norwich. Through best practice community engagement, we further participatory design and influence the design of buildings to maximize the public benefit for embodied and operational carbon cost.MOPA is a skills development vehicle committed to training sustainable leadership skills and embedding the necessary expertise for the management of the environment in our team. We will invest in ongoing CPD and seek opportunities to secure funding for internal and external training in the responsible design and management of buildings.During the financial year 22/23 MOPA have benefited the community in the following ways: Acted as Technical Advisor for Norfolk County Council’s deep retrofit of an existing retail building in town centre, to form a new library, community and learning hub. Operational and embodied carbon targets aligned with LETI 2030 guidance figures. BREEAM Excellent Targeted. MOPA developed a programme of surveys for the Norfolk Fire and Rescue Estate ahead of the implementation of the Local Authority decarbonisation programme to check for related works required to ensure the buildings were fit for purpose. Our work focused on the zoning requirements for the control of contaminants within the stations and the provision of equitable facilities for both male and female firefighters. Our teams of surveyors visited the properties over a month in June 2023 and reported on the findings of 43no. Fire Stations and Training Facilities in August 2023.MOPA supported the Garage Trust, a Norfolk-based performing arts charity running two arts centres: The Garage in Norwich, and The Workshop in King’s Lynn to define their route to Net Zero in the operation of their building. MOPA were awarded funding through Innovate UK to develop their decarbonisation assessment service into a direct-to-consumer interactive product. To make this assessment service more widely available MOPA are developing a streamlined assessment tool intended to give homeowners clear, quantified, and affordable advice on the potential retrofit options for their homes.MOPA led a team of professional consultants supporting North Norfolk District Council with the Historic England Hertiage Action Zone high street regeneration work in North Walsham; a town of 100+ listed buildings. With over twenty-five separate projects progressing on heritage buildings in the town, the team are managing the detail and coordination of the funding applications to ensure that the works are undertaken in line with Historic England’s exacting funding criteria.MOPA provided employment to eight individuals within the financial year, along with collaboration opportunities for several other local architectural practices in the city of Norwich. Additionally, we provided work experience placements including a month-long placement to support an individual with their degree requirements. MOPA’s Director, Hannah, is an active STEM ambassador, regularly speaking at events within the local community and in educational settings, with the aims of advocating for best practice in the built environment and to inspire the next generation of young architects. MOPA have sponsored two local events in the community, Norwich Grasstrack in Norwich and Out There Arts in Great Yarmouth.
MOPA’s stakeholders are their clients, collaboration partners, employees, and sub-contractors. There is regular contact with clients who have active projects, with each being assigned a project lead. A new client questionnaire is issued to new clients being onboarded, as well as face to face meetings. Following the completion of a project a feedback survey is issued to clients asking for feedback on what went well and suggestions for improvements. MOPA also maintains regular contact with all subcontractors and collaboration partners to keep updated with progress of relevant projects and discuss upcoming opportunities. MOPA maintains an inclusive and open culture for its employees and actively encourages ideas and feedback. We have weekly team catch ups, regular 1-2-1 sessions with the Director, monthly idea sessions and annual appraisals with each member of the team.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £48,500There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
