£466 Accrual shown in Current Liabilities is the accountancy fee known to be due in the 24/25 year. There is a £4 discrepancy because the 2023 charge was actually £444 but it only shows as a £440 accrual in the 22/23 accounts. I should have noticed and queried this discrepancy last year. This year's charge is £470 and thus is showing as a £466 accrual in these 23/24 accounts.
I have questioned why the accountancy charge is being treated as an accrual, as my understanding of accruals is to account for when goods or services have been provided in one financial period but are not paid for until the next financial period. In our case, the accounting service provision and the payment are always in the same financial period so there should have been no need to show an accrual.
The accountant has agreed this and now the accruals will be cleared in the 24/25 accounts and will not appear in the 25/26 accounts. As a result, the accountancy fees paid in the 24/25 year will not appear as an expense. Going forward, the accountancy charges will be put on a 'payments basis', meaning they will be classed as a normal expense.
