Narrative 'front end' reporting is critical in telling the story of an entity’s year, which the financial statements themselves may only outline.
This three-hour course will cover the following topics:
- navigating the requirements for the directors’ report
- strategic report – getting the detail right
- making the most of the s.172 statement
- hot topic – environmental reporting
- website disclosures – modern slavery and gender pay gap
- impact of the front end on the audit.
