Board Minutes Approving the Annual Accounts
About this document
A company’s annual accounts must be approved by the board and signed on behalf of the board by a director before they are sent to shareholders and filed at Companies House. These minutes record that approval properly, confirm the directors have considered going concern and the audit exemption, and authorise filing.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
