What Are Statutory Accounts?

Statutory accounts, also known as annual accounts, are the financial statements every limited company, LLP, and certain registered business types must prepare at the end of each financial year. These accounts must follow approved statutory accounting principles, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and consistency across UK reporting standards.

Prepared from your company’s financial records, statutory accounts typically include the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, notes to the accounts, and a directors’ report (where applicable).

In the UK, statutory accounts are a legal requirement. They provide HMRC and Companies House with verified, compliant financial information demonstrating that your business is accountable, well-managed, and operating within UK regulatory frameworks.
