The pandemic and year-end reporting and changes to financial reporting following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU

Alan Endersby, Audit Partner, Streets Chartered Accountants

Few, if any businesses, will not have been affected by the impact of the pandemic. A situation which will no doubt see the need to re-visit financial management and reporting. Alan’s presentation will look at the impact of the situation in terms of:

• The pandemic - in year or a post balance sheet event
• Year-end financial statement, provisions and valuations
• Going concern and disclosures
• When to report
• Looking forwards 

Whilst UK businesses trading with EU member states are probably getting to grips with new processes and procedures around movement of goods and business transactions, it seems that the changes to accounting treatment and financial reporting may still not be fully understood. With this in mind, Alan will look at the impact of our withdrawal on financial reporting for those businesses doing business within the EU.

Luke’s presentation will focus on a number of key measures announced by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, including:

• The introduction of ‘super deduction’ for businesses investing in plant and machinery and first year capital allowances
• The temporary extension for the carry back of trading losses
• Planning for an increase in Corporation Tax from 1st April 2023
