Reporting on FinVentures UK Limited is prepared for defined accounting periods and filed under company number 04275894. What follows sets out how that material is organised and how to read it.
A set of statutory accounts is a record of a defined accounting period. It states the position at the balance sheet date and what happened over the period leading up to it, prepared under the accounting policies in force at the time. It does not describe the position today.
Three things have to be established before any figure is interpreted. Which entity the accounts belong to. Which accounting policies were applied. Which period is covered. Alter any one of them and the same number can mean something quite different.
FinVentures UK Limited is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales on 23 August 2001, and is a subsidiary within a wider group. Its parent entity was notified on 6 April 2016 as a person with significant control, holding 75 per cent or more of the shares and voting rights. Entity-level and group-level reporting are therefore separate records, and figures drawn from one should not be read as figures for the other.
Statements covering a defined accounting period, prepared on a stated basis and filed at Companies House.
Share capital, statutory accounts and recorded changes in ownership, including the significant control notification made in April 2016.
Earlier filings and reports, which describe the position at their own date and not the position now.
Items are held by category, and each one carries the source it came from and the period it covers. Those two labels are what make an archived document usable at all.
Nothing is withdrawn as it ages. A document from an earlier year remains as it was published, which is the only honest way to hold an archive. The consequence is that any individual item may since have been superseded, so the date on it is the first thing to check and the last thing to ignore.
Incorporation, share capital, registered office and control, as recorded on the public register.
Annual financial information and related reporting, held by accounting period.
Announcements released through regulated disclosure channels, with the release date on the notice.
Entries held by data providers and corporate directories, recorded against the source they came from.
Reporting is a record. It is not a forecast, a valuation, or an indication of what the company intends to do next, and it carries no recommendation about any security or investment.
Figures quoted in a document belong to the period that document covers and to no other. For the position as it stands, the register maintained by Companies House is the authoritative source. An enquiry about a particular period is better put to the team directly than inferred from an older filing.
