Certain payments made by the company to the director were incorrectly recorded as expenses rather than as a loan recoverable from the director. Consequently, expenses were overstated and current assets and profit before tax were understated in the original financial statements.
The payments incorrectly recorded as expenses have been reclassified to the director’s loan account and included within current assets as amounts owed to the company by the director. The revised financial statements also reflect the consequential adjustments to taxation and creditors. Profit after tax has increased from £9,157 to £65,404, and net assets have increased from £9,257 to £65,504.
