Accountants Submitted Accounts without my Sign off

Probably misjudged but done with the best of intentions, I'd say.

The question I'd have is how you got to 9 months (minus 3 days) after your year end before you started agitating about this.

There are accountants out there who leave accounts to the last minute. That way they make it difficult for clients to leave.

let them fix it then sack 'em....

You say that the dividend amount doesn't match your SA amount. Why would it? Unless your company year end is March it's quite likely they won't match.

Agree, the accounts won't match the SATR, unless it coincides with the tax year.

However I'd expect the total dividends in the accounts if I were to look between the accounting periods 06/04 to 05/04 to match SATR dividends from this source.

It's a check I'd do when preparing the current year and reviewing the prior year, to make sure nothing has gone astray

Y/e is likely to be March if the deadline for filing was 31/12.

Deadline for filing was mid January. I have raised the fact that I am unhappy with the firm in question. Will see how they handle all of this before deciding to name them.

I'm not a big fan of naming companies in situations like this. Sometimes crap happens and it's one of those things but that's your call.

Do keep us updated with what happens. I'd be interested to know and some good information for people in the same situation that have been directed to do a search

How did this play out?
