Asked by: Baroness Bowles of Berkhamsted (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Monday 10th March 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the discrepancy between the Financial Reporting Council's Guidance on the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Related Reporting (including Solvency and Liquidity Risks), published on 25 February, and section 393 of the Companies Act 2006, where the former requires that "the financial statements give a true and fair view" while the latter addresses specific numbers being "a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss".

Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Financial Reporting Council (FPR) 'Guidance on the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Related Reporting (including Solvency and Liquidity Risks)' (the guidance) is non-mandatory and non-statutory guidance issued by the FRC to support its public interest outcomes. The guidance was not developed to address matters relating to distributable profits.

Section 393 of the Companies Act 2006 is referenced in the guidance as one of the relevant requirements. Accounting standards set the threshold for departing from the going concern basis of accounting. As noted in paragraph 3.3 of the guidance, there are often realistic alternatives to liquidation or cessation of operations.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government why the Financial Reporting Council’s Guidance on the Going Concern Basis of Accounting and Related Reporting (including Solvency and Liquidity Risks), published on 25 February, does not mention that using the going concern basis of accounting is relevant under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006 in considering whether or not a distribution is lawful.
