Changes to the accounting rules could affect your company accounts from 2026 onwards.

The new rules may be particularly relevant if your business leases property, vehicles or equipment, or if you have more complex customer contracts.

For some businesses, leases will now need to be shown on the balance sheet. Changes to income recognition may also affect when income appears in your accounts.

The rules can differ for smaller companies, and the impact will vary from business to business. Our latest article explains what you need to know and what you may want to consider now.

Companies House has confirmed that upcoming accounts filing reforms will now take effect from April 2028, giving businesses additional time to prepare.

The changes will introduce mandatory digital filing, require small companies to file profit and loss accounts, and remove abridged accounts — marking a significant shift in reporting requirements.

While the delay offers breathing space, it’s important to start reviewing your processes, systems and reporting approach now.
