Provisional Financial Statements — Current Figures, Certified Now.

Provisional financial statements — profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow — prepared and certified for the current period, ahead of your annual accounts being finalised.

Banks, tender authorities, and other third parties often need to see a business's current financial position before the annual accounts for the year have been finalised and audited — for example, when the last audited financials are several months old but a loan or tender decision cannot wait that long.

Provisional financial statements address this by presenting the financial position for the current period — based on books maintained to date — clearly marked as provisional and subject to final audit, giving the requesting party a reasonably current picture without waiting for the full annual close.

We prepare provisional financial statements by reviewing the books maintained to date, making reasonable estimates for accruals and provisions where the period is not yet closed, and certifying the statements clearly as provisional for submission to the relevant bank, lender, or authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Provisional financial statements are prepared based on books maintained to date, using reasonable estimates for any incomplete items, and are not subject to a full statutory audit, whereas audited financial statements have been examined and opined on by an auditor following applicable auditing standards.

Provisions and accruals are estimated based on historical patterns, contractual obligations, and management's best estimate for the incomplete period, applied consistently with the entity's accounting policies.

Provisional financial statements can be prepared for a full financial year in progress, a half-year, or a specific quarter, depending on what the requesting bank, lender, or authority requires.
