Ensure Financial Statement Completeness and Compliance with UK GAAP Requirements

Regulators say that the biggest driver of deficient financial statements is a misunderstanding of the requirements. Many are subjective, incomplete and incorrect, drawing sanctions against the practitioner or firm. The UK GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual clears the confusion with expert guidance on all aspects of disclosure statements, including the most recent changes affecting statements prepared in 2015/2016.

A growing emphasis on transparency, alongside wholesale changes in the profession, has left practitioners at a loss for guidance; this book provides practical reference for financial disclosure preparation to help ensure compliance with the new UK GAAP.

From profit and loss accounts, cash flows and equity, to assets, grants, investments and inventories, this authoritative guide details the critical elements of disclosure for nearly every situation. The UK GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual is an essential resource for compliance in financial reporting.
