Scope before commitment Requirements explained
01 / THE BIG PICTURE

The right support.
With the details in view.

Keep the LLP’s annual return and statement of accounts consistent with its agreement, partner records and books. We review the financial year and pending periods, organise the information for Forms 11 and 8 where applicable, and coordinate designated-partner approval and professional involvement required for the filing.

First, establish what applies

Company, LLP and proprietorship obligations differ. Filing requirements can continue even when a company or LLP has no revenue; audit and governance rules must be assessed separately.

What the scoped work can cover

  • LLP annual reporting and audit-dependency checklist
  • Prepared annual return/account filing pack
  • Filed form copies and acknowledgements for agreed periods

Scope, fees and timing are agreed after review. Document readiness, professional review and any authority queries affect the schedule. Statutory charges, testing, execution and other third-party costs are identified where relevant.

04 / BEYOND THIS STEP

responsibility in view.

Preserve filed returns and accounts, update contribution and partner registers, and coordinate separate income-tax, GST and event-based LLP obligations.

05 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Good questions.
Useful answers.

01Are Form 11 and Form 8 interchangeable?+

No. Form 11 is the annual return; Form 8 addresses accounts and solvency. Review both applicable obligations.

02Does LLP annual filing also update the agreement?+

Agreement and partner changes have their own filing requirements and should not be deferred to annual reporting.

03Does every LLP need the same audit or certification?+

No. Assess the applicable audit and professional certification conditions using the LLP’s actual figures and current rules.
