Preparing for your companies year end accounts
Your companies year end or annual accounts are called the “statutory accounts”, these are made from the companies financial records at the end of your financial year.
When running a company you must keep track of the company’s records and financial accounts. We recommend hiring a professional accountant like Clayton Stirling & Co to do this for you.
What records a company must keep
- directors, shareholders and company secretaries
- the results of any shareholder votes and resolutions
- promises for the company to repay loans at a specific date in the future (‘debentures’) and who they must be paid back to
- promises the company makes for payments if something goes wrong and it’s the company’s fault (‘indemnities’)
- transactions when someone buys shares in the company
- loans or mortgages secured against the company’s assets
This info comes the HMRC website.
