b

the company’s registered number,

c

whether the company is a public or a private company and whether it is limited by shares or by guarantee,

d

1

Companies Act individual accounts must comprise—

a

a balance sheet as at the last day of the financial year, and

b

a profit and loss account.

C12

The accounts must—

a

in the case of the balance sheet, give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of the financial year, and

b

in the case of the profit and loss account, give a true and fair view of the profit or loss of the company for the financial year.

F12A

In the case of the individual accounts of a company which qualifies as a micro-entity in relation to the financial year (see sections 384A and 384B), the micro-entity minimum accounting items included in the company’s accounts for the year are presumed to give the true and fair view required by subsection (2).

3

The accounts must comply with provision made by the Secretary of State by regulations as to—

a

the form and content of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, and

b

additional information to be provided by way of notes to the accounts.

4

If compliance with the regulations, and any other provision made by or under this Act as to the matters to be included in a company's individual accounts or in notes to those accounts, would not be sufficient to give a true and fair view, the necessary additional information must be given in the accounts or in a note to them.

5

If in special circumstances compliance with any of those provisions is inconsistent with the requirement to give a true and fair view, the directors must depart from that provision to the extent necessary to give a true and fair view.

Particulars of any such departure, the reasons for it and its effect must be given in a note to the accounts.

F36

Subsections (4) and (5) do not apply in relation to the micro-entity minimum accounting items included in the individual accounts of a company for a financial year in relation to which the company qualifies as a micro-entity.
