Andica Accounts to Companies House Software

Accounts Companies House Software Overview

As per Companies Act 2006, a Company must deliver its annual accounts every year to the Companies House - even if the company is a dormant.

Andica Accounts to Companies House Software allows to record accounts data in iXBRL compliant templates. The software includes default templates comprising of Directors’ Report, Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Notes to accounts based on entity size and type, which automatically manages the iXBRL tagging to submit annual accounts directly to Companies House online.

Software is aimed at Companies, Accountants, Practitioners and Tax Advisors. The software is available in multiple Company bands (of 1, 5, 25, 100 and Unlimited Companies) and for larger practices requiring multiple users to access and share the data on the network, multi-user licenses are available.

Annual Licence: The software is supplied on an annual licence basis. Annual licence is granted for use of software for a year effective from the date of purchase. Licence is granted for use of a specific version of the software and a new licence should be purchased for each version. In case of version upgrade, annual licence of the new version will supersede the earlier version. Software licence expires at the end of the term and the software with all its functions will be deactivated unless the licence has been renewed.

You can only use one copy of the Software on a single computer and /or disk drive. A license must be purchased for each computer or hardware, including disk drives on which software is installed. For a network version of the software, use the software on a network provided that you have a licensed copy of the software for each computer that can access the software over that network.
