Unabridged Accounts

Unabridged accounts are full statutory financial statements prepared by a company, showing complete detail of its financial performance and position for a given year.

They include all elements required under UK accounting standards (such as FRS 102) and Companies Act 2006 — typically:

Profit and loss account

Balance sheet

Cash flow statement

Detailed notes to the accounts

Director’s report and auditor’s report (if applicable)

Unlike abridged or filleted accounts, which are simplified versions filed publicly at Companies House, unabridged accounts are the full version often provided to shareholders, lenders, and HMRC.

Used in:

Company reporting, audits, tax submissions, and lender due diligence.
