Regulation 59 of SI 2009/3001

Reporting funds must prepare their accounts in accordance with international accounting standards (IAS), or alternatively in accordance with the generally accepted accounting practice (GAAP) specified in the fund鈥檚 application for reporting fund status and accepted by HMRC. Some GAAPs permit a degree of choice in applicable standards and particular rules may apply to certain entity types such as OEICs, for example. Therefore, although a particular GAAP may be acceptable, it remains the responsibility of reporting funds to correctly calculate reportable income.

A list of GAAPs that have been accepted by HMRC on application for reporting fund status is available on 188体育 website and is maintained by HMRC鈥檚 Collective Investment Schemes Centre (鈥楥ISC鈥�). The pages include notes detailing the entries in accounts prepared in accordance with each GAAP that are considered to equate to total comprehensive income (鈥楾CI鈥�) for a period, and any adjustments that would be required. The notes have been prepared based on applications received by HMRC and should not be considered to be exhaustive. Reporting funds remain responsible for correctly calculating TCI. CISC can provide assistance in cases of doubt or where GAAPs that have yet to be approved are used.
