Do you think it is always necessary to provide a Balance Sheet?

Re:Balance Sheet
Simple answer - No
I have quite a few subbies, and I dont bother with balance sheets for them. They are paid weekly so no debtors. Very few purchases, and only for cash so no creditors. No stock as they are a subbie. No business bank account and only a knackered old van worth £100 (if the sun is shining).
What therefore is there to put on a balance sheet? Accountancy accrual is all that I can think of

Re:Balance Sheet
I am glad you said that because I thought it was just me. In a recent tax enquiry, a tax inspector has suggested that all accounts should come along with a Balance Sheet as this is a "good source of further information". I prepared one for a year end back in 2004 and it didn't really give much information - it just balanced!
Perhaps this is just HMRC Inspectors exerted their authority?0
