Company Law

UK company law continues to present a challenge to small companies. Though the vast choice of accounting formats and disclosures requirements, seemingly offering exemptions and simplification, may at first appear appealing, in reality the law can be a minefield for the unwary.

The new 2007/2008 edition of the classic reference book, Preparing Company Accounts, now in its 15th edition, is written to help accountants in small businesses shoulder the burden of preparing accounts and to maintain the quality of statutory compliance.

Preparing Company Accounts offers clear, straightforward commentary and practical guidance, including straightforward analysis and explanation of the underlying legislation.

Fully revised and updated, the new edition includes:

• impending changes of the companies Act 2006 for small company reporting
• recent changes in legislation in UK GAAP for small companies
• the revised FRRSE (effective January 2007), summarising the key elements
• developments in GAAP, accounting standards and reporting practice
• the continuing coverage of UK and international accounting standards
