Directors Loan account in credit for small company

Directors Loan account in credit for small company

Didn't find your answer?

Hi,

Is there any note/disclosure required for a directors loan account that is in credit?

Also, the balance sheet is negative resulting from a loss for the first years trading. Is a note required showing that the company is dependant on the support of the directors via these loans?

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Yes & Yes

Yes - Under the FRSSE, you are required to disclose transactions with related parties and the FRSSE specifically states that directors are related parties.  There are exclusions for salaries paid to and pension contributions paid for related parties, but loans and dividends paid to directors must be disclosed.  The required disclosure is the balance outstanding at the end of the year (with last year comparative) and the amount of any interest paid (with comparative).

Yes - You should state as the company's first accounting policy that the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis on the grounds that the directors will continue to provide sufficient finance.
