Year‑end accounts: a simple UK checklist

Avoid last‑minute panic. This short list keeps your year‑end clean and compliant.

Before the year ends

Chase debtors, count stock (if relevant), and record accruals/prepayments.

Director confirmations

Approve dividends and salary decisions in minutes and file board notes.

After the year end

Reconcile bank, payroll, VAT and loans. Prepare accounts, CT600 and file your confirmation statement.
