Your statutory accounts

What needs to be included?

There are 4 main documents that must be included within a set of statutory accounts… A profit and loss account, a balance sheet, notes about the accounts and a directors’ report. Depending on the size of the company, an auditor’s report may also need to be included.

Profit and loss account

A profit and loss account (also known as an income statement) records and shows a company’s revenues and expenses during a specific accounting period. It indicates how the revenues are transformed into the net income or profit.

Balance sheet

A balance sheet is a statement of the assets, liabilities, and capital of a business or other organisation at a particular point in time, detailing the balance of income and expenditure over a specific period.

Notes about the account

Notes about the account provide additional information that support a company’s operations and financial position and are considered to be an integral part of the financial statements.

Directors’ report

A directors’ report is a financial document that larger limited companies are required to file at end of each financial year. They outline the financial state of the company and are created by the director(s).
