The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)

The ICAEW does not set financial reporting requirements but has issued guidance for members on a variety of topics. Some of this is available to the public on its website.

Some material is available only to ICAEW members or to members of particular faculties. There is a Corporate Reporting Faculty which has its own section of the website containing information on corporate reporting topics available only to subscribers.

Guidance issued by the ICAEW which is generally available and may be of interest includes the following (all links to ICAEW website).

  • TECH 02/17 ‘Guidance on the determination of realised profits and losses in the context of distributions under the Companies Act 2006’ which provides guidance on applying the law on distributable profits.  
  • TECH 06/20BL Exemption from audit by parent guarantee.
  • TECH 14/13 ‘Disclosure of auditor remuneration’ which provides guidance on fees for audit and non-audit services.  [This supersedes TECH 04/11].
  • TECH 16/14BL Guidance on donations by a company to its parent charity
  • TECH 07/13BL 'Exemption for audit by parent guarantee' which provides guidance on the exemption from audit under S479A-S479C of the Companies Act 2006 for subsidiary companies whose liabilities are guaranteed by their parent.
