Hi folks
Does anyone have experience of filing Industrial and Provident Society accounts?
I have been asked to act for a community village shop which is registered as a "Friendly Society" under the "Industrial and Provident Act 1965" and has an IPxxxxxR number but no other information is listed on Companies House website.
I believe that the accounts are filed with the FSA Mutuals Public Register, but can't see any obvious means of uploading accounts to the website, so guess that it is just a case of posting them a set of the accounts once finalised.
Am I missing anything?

Just check the rule book, we had to give up a mutual society because they had to have accounts prepared by a registered auditor even if they aren't audited.
If you're ok to do the accounts then we just had to post the accounts to the FSA with the annual return - no electronic filing was possible.0 -
Thank you! I was just reading the website and noticed a bit about Auditors, but don't think that the last accountant was an auditor, so need to investigate further.
Might give the FSA a call for clarification.FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0
