Receivables represent invoiced services usually payable within 30 days whereby performance obligations have been satisfied. Accrued income of £23m (of which £20.3m (2021: £21.3m) represents Assurance accrued income) is the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Remaining balances are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Credit losses of £nil (2021: £0.1m) have been recognised in respect of contract assets. The contract assets were not impacted by any impairment charge. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group issues an invoice to the customer. Invoices usually become payable within 30 days. The contract costs to obtain of £1.1m (2021: £0.4m) represent incremental sales commissions to obtain specific contracts. The contract costs to fulfil represent recoverable costs relating to future performance obligations and economic benefits to the customer in relation to a long-term onerous contract. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advanced consideration received from customers, for which revenue is recognised over time in line with the respective performance obligation. No information is provided about remaining performance obligations at 31 May 2022 or at 31 May 2021 that have an original expected duration of one year or less, as allowed by IFRS 15.
