Financial Statements - CA following the standard practice?

Post by 9elizabeth » Thu Nov 03, 2016 10:34 am

I am on Tier 1 Ent. Visa (200K investment).

I have invest 202K as share capital in THREE different transactions.

I am having some problem with the Chartered Accountant (CA). He is not mentioning the things required by the UKVI. His argument is this is against the accounting practice. Here are the main issues I am having with him.

1) Directors Report:
I want him to mention a point “Control: the company was controlled by xxxxxxxxxxxxxx thoroughout the period by virtue of his 100% shareholding in the company”.
He objects to it and his argument is – It is clear by the share holders that I have all100% shares of the company and there is no other partner, hence it cannot be mentioned.

2) Notes to Financial Statements
On Note No. 6 - “Called Up Share Capital” I want him to provide the details of all three transactions in a table format showing 5 different columns: (1) Date of Share Purchase (2) Nos of Share Purchased by Mr. ABC (3) Value of Each Share on the date of Purchase (4) The Date Money – wans transferred into the company account (5) Total amount Invested by Mr. ABC.

My accountant instead of creating above stated table simply stated the following sentence- Share Capital – Allotted, Called up and fully paid 201,000 Ordinary of £1 each.

Obviously, the CA is just following the standard practice and UKVI want financial statement with additional details.
I am going to have see my CA again today and if does not agree to amend the report, I will have to go to some other accountant. Cam someone please suggest me the CA they have used and is familiar with the UKVI requirements. I would prefer if he is based in the Midlands but any part of England is O.K. Though I am based in Birmingham.

u dont have to show all transactions on note section for share capital.
just simply ask him to show ur name and the amount of shares u hold and value of each share.in note section of sharecapital.
e.g
details of shareholding is as follows
mr abc 202000 shares of £1 each.

None of that is required by UKVI. :!:
You simply need to have something like this in the account notes: Mr/Mrs XYZ holds 200,000 shares each valued at £1
Even if that is not possible, provide a Register Of Members document

Please note the replies in the same format as they were raised:

1. On the financial statements, it is usually mentioned in the end that the company is controlled by 'XYZ' due to the virtue of their shareholding. It is not shown under directors report.

2. The accountant can assist you with 3 shares certificate, which will show your name, the date they were purchased, the number of shares that were purchased. You should use the date when the money was transferred from the personal to business account. It will also be backed up by confirmation statements from Companies House
