Course Details

This course explores the annual filing requirements for all companies, being the confirmation statement and financial statements, and explores some of the potential reduced disclosure options available when it comes to financial statement filings.

During the session, Claire and Lindsay look at other documents that may need to be filed, such as those required when availing of a subsidiary audit exemption or of a consolidation exemption.


 The responsibility for all company filing lies with company directors; however, it is essential that accountants are up to date with all the requirements, to allow them to best support their clients in this ever-increasing regulatory environment. 


In this session Claire Thomson and Lindsay Webber have covered the following:

  • Annual filings – confirmation statements and financial statements
  • Possible reduced disclosure exemptions available for financial statements
  • Filings required when availing of a subsidiary audit exemption or consolidation exemption
  • Filing exemptions available for dormant companies


 By purchasing this session, you will refresh your knowledge of the filing requirements of private limited companies in the UK. 


You will also learn about possible exemptions to these requirements and understand the possible additional requirements in group situations.
