Legal Terms- Accounts
Accounts, in the plural form, refer to statements that depict a company's financial status and are prepared accordingly every year. According to section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, a company is obligated to maintain sufficient accounting records that accurately reflect the daily inflow and outflow of money, as well as the company's assets and liabilities. The yearly accounts comprise a balance sheet, a profit and loss account, a statement of total recognized gains and losses, and, if necessary, a cash-flow statement. The accounts are required to accurately and objectively depict the company's financial status, as mandated by the Companies Act 2006 section 393. Additionally, the accounts should be maintained in a format specified by the Act, if applicable.
Depending on the nature of the business, the financial statements are accompanied by a report from the directors, a report on directors' compensation, and a report from the auditor. According to the Companies Act 2006, a private business has a deadline of nine months following the end of its accounting reference period to submit its accounts. On the other hand, a public company has a deadline of six months after the end of that period. According to Section 437 of the Act, the directors of a public company are obligated to present the accounts at a general meeting of the company. Since a private business is not legally required to convene an annual general meeting, there is no specific obligation to present the firm's finances at such a meeting. According to section 430 of the firms Act 2006, listed firms must make sure that their accounts and reports are accessible on a website. Small and medium-sized firms have the option to skip the filing requirements for their accounts if they are exempt from audit and submit shortened accounts, as stated in the firms Act 2006 sections 444-45. Members have the right to receive copies of the accounts
