Adjustments to filed accounts

[marcusjames]

I have recently started working for a company and have discovered that there is an unsupported deferred tax balance on the recently filed statutory accounts.

I will have to inform management and make an adjustment.

Is this adjustment a problem and will it get a severe audit comment or are these adjustment a regular thing. It's not big numbers I'm just curious about whether the FD will hit the roof or be cool.

Thanks

Why not discuss the issue with the FD first?

There may be good reasons why the balance is apparently unsupported, i.e., there may be a balancing transacation....

Adjustments are commonplace so far as companies house and HMCR are concerned, but be sure the FD is aware before you do anything
