FRS 105 micro-entity accounts in Worksop

FRS 105 accounts for Worksop 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.

The largest groups of micro businesses in Bassetlaw are construction (640), wholesale and retail (615) and professional, scientific and technical services (470). If you work in construction in Worksop, Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. That puts construction at 16% of the local micro-business base.

Bassetlaw ranks 903 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 89% is in line with the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (615 micro businesses in Bassetlaw), 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 (470 micro businesses in Bassetlaw), 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.
