An organised record keeping is fundamental to determine the tax liability of a business and eventually will help the director of company to estimate his personal tax obligation as well.

How it helps to fulfil reporting requirements? Internal controls

If you are in a partnership and most partners are only sleeping partners and you want to report them about the health of business, then authentic bookkeeping can help you do accurate reporting. This will not only enhance credibility of your reporting but also helps you secure more investment from investors as well. Similarly banks sometimes ask for how your business is doing if you apply for loan and accurate bookkeeping can help you prepare relevant presentation in very short amount of time. At businesswise Accountants we help you forget all this hassle and let our experts deal with complexities of bookkeeping to secure new funding or simply report to your investors.

To run a successful business, you need to put in place right type of internal controls and bookkeeping will help you in that regards as well. Bookkeeping will assist you in chasing creditors and track any suppliers which aren’t paid on time. Internal controls are important to keep business on track and indicate any issues or deviations from annual and long-term goals for the organisation. A profit and loss statement indicates the profit a business is making and balance sheet determines the assets and liabilities of a business. You can extract the formulated information swiftly only if bookkeeping is done on according to relevant standards.

 

What are legal obligations:

Running a start-up or running business can involve a lot of hard work and complexities. Not least of which is the maintenance of the company accounts. Not everyone is great with figures, similarly not everyone realises their legal obligations.


Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 lays down the duty of every company to keep proper accounts, stating:

“(1) Every company must keep adequate accounting records

(3) Accounting records must, in particular, contain—

(a) entries from day to day of all sums of money received and expended by the company and the matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure takes place, and

(b) a record of the assets and liabilities of the company. “

Section 387 makes it clear that failure to comply with this regulation is a criminal offence which is punishable with imprisonment.

“(1) If a company fails to comply with any provision of section 386 (duty to keep accounting records), an offence is committed by every officer of the company who is in default…

(3) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable—

(a) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine (or both);…“

The essence of this area of law is that every director of a company is responsible for the company’s accounts. Failure to comply with the law and fulfil this duty can have serious consequences for individual directors. It is therefore important to keep proper accounts, maintaining the books on a daily basis. The act also furthers this duty by requiring these accounts to be kept for a number of years.

Section 388(4):

“(4) Accounting records that a company is required by section 386 to keep must be preserved by it—

(a) in the case of a private company, for three years from the date on which they are made;

(b) in the case of a public company, for six years from the date on which they are made. ”

In a nutshell failure to compliance with this legal duty as director can lead to serious consequences, but you don’t have to sweat a single drop and contact Businesswise Accountants as we are here to take all the responsibility and let this complex and delicate task deal by our experts. We will not only do perform this operation on your behalf but also advise you to select suitable software for your business.
