FRS 105 micro-entity accounts in Hainault

FRS 105 accounts for Hainault companies

FRS 105, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime, sets the recognition and measurement rules for the smallest companies. It is simpler than FRS 102 Section 1A, which small companies use. Assets and liabilities are generally recorded at historical cost, there is no deferred tax and most disclosure notes fall away.

Redbridge ranks 164 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 94% is above the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (2,340 micro businesses in Redbridge), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. In professional, scientific and technical services (2,160 micro businesses in Redbridge), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised.
