From 1 April 2028, small companies and micro-entities will need to file profit and loss accounts with Companies House. This is a significant change, alongside the move to software only accounts filing and the end of abridged accounts.

While businesses are expected to have the option to opt out of public publication, the information will still need to be filed correctly.

Accurate bookkeeping, suitable software and a clear accounts process will be key. Find more details in our latest article here: https://www.david-allen.co.uk/what-small-companies-need-to-know-about-the-companies-house-accounts-filing-changes/

Our team is here to support you with bookkeeping, accounts preparation, software, tax compliance and practical advice, helping you prepare with confidence. To discuss how these changes affect your business, contact our team on 01228 711888.

A huge congratulations to Penrith Building Society on achieving both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Onur Mutlu was pleased to present the certificates to Panshul Tyagi, Technology Manager at Penrith Building Society, recognising the work their team has put into strengthening their cyber security standards.

Cyber Essentials is an important benchmark for businesses, helping to protect against the most common cyber threats. Cyber Essentials Plus goes one step further, with independent technical testing carried out to confirm these controls are working effectively in practice.

More businesses are now choosing to implement the standard as cybersecurity becomes a key part of protecting client data, meeting supply chain requirements and showing customers, suppliers and partners that security is being taken seriously.

It is great to see Penrith Building Society taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity, and we are proud to have supported them through the certification process.
