Every LLP must prepare accounts that report on the performance and activities of the LLP during the financial year. This starts on the day after the previous financial year ended or, in the case of a new LLP, on the day of incorporation.
For all new LLPs, the legislation sets the first accounting reference date as the last day in the month in which the LLP's first anniversary falls. The subsequent accounting reference dates will automatically be on the same date each on 1 October 2009 will have its first accounting reference date as 31 October 2010 and 31 October for every year thereafter.
All accounts must be submitted to the HMRC and Companies House, failure to deliver accounts will result in a fine and the partnership will be stuck out.
