2018 Taxonomy Retirement 1st August 2022

Following the recent retirement of the 2018 Taxonomy (1st August 2022), as part of this release when producing accounts that have historically used this Taxonomy, we have adjusted the software to apply the latest Taxonomy to unfinalised sets of accounts irrespective of accounting periods.

Prior to this release if you tried to electronically file accounts using the 2018 Taxonomy, Companies House and HMRC will reject these accounts. After installation if you do encounter this, please unfinalise and regenerate the iXBRL accounts and the software will apply the latest appropriate permitted Taxonomy.

Prior to the application of the latest Taxonomy the software will also offer the option to automatically carry forward items that you have historically tagged manually, saving you considerable time in having to re tag.

Academies Accounts Direction 2021 to 2022

General update

Updates have been made to Academy Account formats, to accommodate the recently released Academies Accounts Direction 2021 to 2022 for accounting periods to 31 August 2022. Appropriate changes have been made to the reference date to reflect in the statement of trustee’s responsibilities, audit report, report of regularity and accounting policies note for the basis of preparation. This continues our commitment to bringing the latest compliance.

The new data screen has 4 sections:

  • Opening text – this is prefilled with content from the AAD example.
  • Trustees’ Disclosure – this provides a tabular layout to disclose the name of the Trustee, their designation and the actual amounts for remuneration and employers pension contributions paid. Once complete this will then automatically place the trustees’ into bandings as the legislation requires. For comparative disclosure purposes we have included a similar data screen in the August 2021 year end.
  • Additional/replacement text area – this provides you the freedom to either add additional disclosure or fully replace the standard template.
  • Expenses – this allows allow the relevant disclosure for travel and subsistence, the total values are derived and automatically calculated from sub account 11 in all of the trustee remunerations accounts, again saving you time, otherwise there is the ability to add additional disclosure or fully replace where needed.
