π’ UK company reporting could be changing
The government has launched a consultation proposing a major modernisation of the corporate reporting framework.
The aim is to make reporting clearer, simpler and more proportionate β particularly for smaller and medium-sized businesses.
Some of the proposals include:
πΉ Extending audit exemptions to certain medium-sized companies
πΉ Simplifying the range of accounting standards available
πΉ Tightening reporting requirements for micro-entities
πΉ Replacing complex distributable profits rules with a solvency-based approach
πΉ Simplifying corporate governance and remuneration reporting
πΉ Increasing the use of digital communications
One particularly important proposal would require companies to make a statement that a dividend will not affect the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
β οΈ These are consultation proposals, not rules that have already changed.
The consultation closes on 30 November 2026.
