UK FRS 102 version 27, UK IFRS version 30 and LLP version 18 template updates — Release Bulletin 14/12/2023

We've released the following template updates.
  • Limited company, UK FRS 102, version 27.
  • UK IFRS, version 30.
  • LLP, version 18.

Updates common to both UK company templates

The iXBRL tags on the signatory dates. This is because Companies House no longer accept iXBRL references marked as "original" on the signatory dates.

Updates specific to the UK FRS 102 company template

  • The iXBRL tagging of abridged accounts so that they display as "abridged" when filed at Companies House.
  • The
    Disclosure
    data entry window for deferred tax in group accounts. To find this, go to the
    Disclosures
    tab, then
    Income Tax
    .

Features specific to the LLP template

  • Updated all reports to include the 2023 iXBRL taxonomy, which will be mandatory from April 2024 and can be used now.
  • New sections in the Summary tab:
    Report options
    and
    Report table settings
    to be consistent with other entity reports.
    • Report options contains the presentation setting options
    • Report table settings contain the options for the alignment of headers and the wording used on headers.
  • A new
    Non-import custom disclosures
    tab. This allows you to enter data into tables which flow through to templates at the back of the reports. The templates can then be moved within the report to display as needed while viewing the report in design mode.
  • On the
    Disclosure
    tab a new
    Revised financial statements
    data entry is added to help you record your reasons for filing amended accounts. The reports have been updated to include iXBRL tags to report the accounts as revised when appropriate.
  • A
    Not filing a P&L
    template is added to the LLP micro accounts to confirm that the entity has taken advantage of the option not to file a profit and loss account when filing filleted accounts at Companies House.
  • Links are added to report templates where they link back to the disclosure data entry windows. These are visible when the report is viewed in Design mode.

Known issues

  • When exporting reports to Excel, clear the
    Contents page
    template checkbox in the Report structure tree.
  • When exporting the report to Word, unless the report includes 3 or more signatories, use the vertical presentation otherwise the export will stop at the signatories.
  • Disclosures are updated within the
    Income tax
    note for
    tax reconciliation
    and
    Deferred tax assets, liabilities and movements
    . As a result, if these tables have been customised, you may need to select
    Revert to template
    to re-establish the link on the
    Disclosure
    tab.
