SIMPLER REPORTING FOR THE SMALLEST BUSINESSES: DISCUSSION PAPER

31 August 2011 A discussion paper has been published which seeks views on simplifying the financial and corporate reporting requirements for the smallest businesses. Simpler Reporting for Smaller Businesses sets out ideas to reduce the amount of reporting micro-entities would be required to undertake. This could benefit around 5 million businesses and result in considerable cost savings in relation to the preparation of their accounts. The paper proposes easing corporate reporting procedures so that micro-entities are only required to file a simplified Trading Statement (in place of the current Profit and Loss account), a simplified Statement of Position and a simplified Annual Return.
