Product Description
Product Description
Most books on company law tend to be long and impenetrable. They make it hard for the non-professional company officer to see what he has to do if he wants to, for example, hold a meeting, declare a dividend or appoint a new director. In fact, these books make it hard for the professional adviser as well! The authors are chartered accountants with considerable expertise in company compliance. From their long experience of dealing with such matters - they have had another similar book on company law in print for more than 20 years - they know that people who are responsible for ensuring that they keep their company operating within the law want a simple guide book on what to do. This is what this book sets out to do. Nowhere does it adopt this philosophy more than with its pages of more than 30 quick cribs , so that if you have carried out a particular function some years ago and just need to be reminded what needs to be done, you should find the answer very speedily there. That said, the whole book is meant to help you get to what you want to know with the minimum of delay. The book is fully up-to-date with all the changes to company law brought in by the Companies Act 2006, and includes more than 30 template documents and procedures for board resolutions, company registers for statutory books, etc.

Although I had the general concept clear in my mind, I found that there were few people willing to give good advice without parting with heaps of cash. This book is short clear and concise and I know that it will be my 'go to book' for at lest the next 12 months whenever I am doing something new.

I am a practising chartered accountant and I have found the previous version of this book to be most useful. I was delighted when the new version was released - following the full implementation of the Companies Act 2006 in October 2009. A most useful member of our office library. Company law is a complex subject and this book could not possibly cover all requirements, but that is its great strength - it covers many of the key company secretarial processes in a clear and understandable fashion. A very good reference documents to cross reference our understanding of Company law matters.
To be clear, this is not a guide on how to prepare statutory financial statements for a limited company and does not claim to be so. Of course, one of the statutory duties of company directors is to prepare and file statutory accounts with its members and Companies House. Of course, the book does alert the user to this statutory duty but stops there. Preparation of statutory company accounts is a complex subject requiring detailed knowledge of accounting standards, tax law and the understanding of large parts of the Companies Act as well as needing considerable accounting experience. It appears that the previous reviewer (Sharpe) has misunderstood the purpose of this book - which is to assist the directors with the company secretarial duties.

If you're thinking of setting up and running a limited company but aren't sure of the procedures involved, then I would certainly recommend this book. The appendices with example forms and minutes are also very useful. It's not a comprehensive guide to preparing company accounts but that's not what it was intended for. Accounts are only one part of a limited company's paperwork and I think what this book does well is to illustrate and point out all the possible different forms of paperwork that companies must fill in, submit and keep.
