Response to accounts consultation published

18 August 2022

We consulted on our accounts assessment policies and a number of changes we proposed to introduce.

We received eight responses to the written consultation, which followed on from discussion sessions held with the profession.

We have now published our response to the consultation.

This outlines respondents’ views and shows how we are taking forward key actions.

We have also produced an accounts information page that covers some areas of confusion raised in the consultation responses.

These will be addressed fully as our rolling programme of publishing policies and guidance continues over the coming year.
