STATUTORY ACCOUNTANTS DEDICATED TO YOU

Contact our specialist team

With all the demands of running your business, making sure you comply with your statutory and listing reporting requirements accurately and on time is surely a burden you could do without. On the other hand, you can ill afford the reputational and potential financial penalties because of late or incorrect reporting. That’s why our statutory accounting services are right for you.

Our dedicated team of statutory accountants will take care of all your financial reporting requirements, whist keeping you abreast of changes in accounting standards or disclosure requirements. The statutory accountant will be integrated with your existing finance team and be there to support you with ad-hoc technical advice and board reporting outlining those key critical accounting judgements management need to be aware of.

EXPERIENCED STATUTORY ACCOUNTANTS

You will get access to a team of dedicated statutory accountants who have experience of producing annual reports for small FRS 105 companies all the way up to large multinational IFRS consolidated accounts and from retail businesses to financial services to oil & gas companies. All of this whilst ensuring you receive quality outputs underpinned by AAB expertise and training.

Not only can our team of statutory accountants assist with annual disclosures, we can help you meet board or interim reporting. For board reporting, we’ll ensure key management are appropriately considering those critical accounting judgements on a regular basis and the associated impact on your financial results, stopping this becoming a shock at year end.

BEST PRACTICE DISCLOSURES ACROSS THE ANNUAL REPORT

It’s not only accounting standards that are constantly evolving, with new standards or interpretations being issued by the IASB or FRC, but also corporate governance disclosures. From Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) to s172 statements to corporate governance codes the number of disclosures required by different sized businesses is a minefield to navigate.

Let our specialists take this stress off your mind by ensuring you not only comply with all the different narrative disclosures but also that you meet industry best practice disclosures. Our team will work with your management to ensure compliance as well as give the message your business wants to present to the public.
