CCH Accounts Production 2024.1: Release Notes

Installing CCH Accounts Production 2024.1

This release is installed using the Central Suite Installer. This ensures that all prerequisites are in place and that all the products for which you are licensed are installed in the correct sequence. Click here to learn about the Central Suite Installer.

Note that if you are upgrading from an old release, before 2023.2, then the Accounts Production Database Upgrade is slow as it is loading new iXBRL tags. Loading the iXBRL tags was speeded up for the 2023.2 to 2023.3 upgrade. But earlier upgrades are still slow. 

IMPORTANT - Traveling

Before performing this upgrade, ensure that all traveled out clients are traveled back in. This advice is the same for every release, but particularly important for this one.

CCH Accounts Production only supports New style Traveling with this release. Following this update, New style Traveling is automatically enabled. Behind the scenes this means that if several clients are traveled out then they are all traveled out in the same database instead of separate databases. But from a user's point of view, traveling out a client is performed in the same way as before.

The following master packs have been updated for this release. These are discussed in more detail in the following sections.

• Limited (FRS 102) – pack 49.00

In the very rare situation where a corporate charity has nothing to disclose in this note (eg for a dormant limited charity), the user will need to suppress the note by excluding it from printing in Financial Statements.

Revised financial statements

The Limited FRS102 master pack now supports the issue of revised UK financial statements, where these replace defective financial statements as set out in SI 2008/373 The Companies (Revision of Defective Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008

These revised statements include:

• A supplementary note, including corrections required together with the required directors' statement;
• Changes to the cover sheet, identifying these as revised financial statements;
• Changes to the audit report as set out in FRC - Auditors Reports on Revised Accounts and Reports Bulletin March 2020.

Automatic tagging of these revised financial statements has been included

The following format was added:

• Note118 -  Revision Of Defective Financial Statements 

Statutory Database changes

General - Client preferences:    Added section for Defective financial statements, using new codes #cd999711 to #cd999722.

Please note that if refiling audited accounts the refiled accounts must contain the full audit statement and cannot use Note99 -  Audit report information even if this was used in the original filing. This means that you cannot use the small companies filing exemptions and must file the P&L and Audit report.

Review & Tag changes

Review & Tag will now allow the refiling of previously submitted accounts

CCH Working Papers

Changes to make editing a template easier

There are several changes here:

• If you edited a template that was used in a pack, the template previewer in Working Papers Designer still showed the old version. You only saw the new version on exiting Central and re-entering. The Working Papers Designer now consistently shows the latest version of the selected template, even though the pack itself may actually contain an earlier version.
• If you edit a template that is used in a pack, you are now told what to do to get the latest version into your pack, as the pack will still be using the previous version. You need to open the Working Papers Designer, remove the template and Import it again.
• If you exit the Templates screen without checking in your template, you now receive a warning. This is a mistake that is easily made.

Bringing an edited template into an accounting period

Despite these changes, it still isn't obvious how to bring an edited template into an accounting period. You need to remove the existing paper from the accounting period and then run a Resync.

Probably it is more common to add the new version into a new practice masterpack. At Year End, you can upgrade to the new pack and see the new version. The order is important. If the new version of a template is added to the pack after the Year End has been performed then a Resync alone does not bring in the updated version. You will then need to follow the procedure in the last paragraph.

The reason for this behaviour is that the Resync can detect a template is missing from an accounting period and add it back in again. However if the version of a paper is different on an accounting period from the pack version then it does not update the accounting period version because overwriting the accounting period version may lose changes that the user has added deliberately.

CCH Accounts Production

ADO 309062 - Cannot run GDPR Generate PDF for Accounts Production

The user sees a red cross indicating that it has failed.

ADO 308738 - Several issues on Officers

Several issues have been encountered:

• There was an issue if the End Date of the Officer was deleted on the Associations screen.
• There was an issue on groups if an Officer had an End Date and was rolled forward and then an attempt was made to reactivate them with the original Start Date.
• Creating an Officer who served twice in a year could cause an error.

ADO 312002 - Remove use of configuration key AccountsShowLimitedFRS105Entity and AccountsShowIFRSEntity

All users should have access to the FRS105 entity, irrespective of configuration keys. Users should have IFRS based on licence.

ADO 312003 - Remove warning that "An issue has been discovered during the upgrade between Central, Accounts Production and the Financial Statement formats"

This message only affected a few practices. For historical reasons, it had been restricted to those practices with a Client Code starting with a "B". It is now completely removed.

ADO 302168 - ITS/65037 - FRS102 tags missing from Controlling party note76

The Statutory database Other notes>Controlling party has been reworked to facilitate the automatic tagging of the data within the note.

DO 315441 - Group accounts sometimes show incorrect balances when the user is not in the latest period

This issue was intermittent and only happened if you were not in the latest group accounting period. It might be fine one day and wrong the next. The balances shown excluded the parent and subsidiary balances.

ADO 320735 - If an AP() command and an APGROUP() command use the same formula then the AP() command can get the wrong value

The problem is that AP formula results are cached to avoid having to recalculate them. Unfortunately the APGROUP result was being cached as well. This meant that if the APGROUP command appeared before the AP command, the AP command could pick up the APGROUP's value. This error was rare as usually APGROUP and AP commands are used with different formulae. We have now given APGROUP commands their own cache which also makes group accounts about 30% faster.

ADO 323444 - Deleting an accounting period can reset the paragraphs in the previous year to their defaults

This happened if you a) changed a Statutory Database setting which has a default value, e.g. "Accountants' Report - Terms of Engagement", b) rolled forward to a new year on a later masterpack and c) then immediately deleted the new year. The old Statutory Database setting reverted to its default value.

CCH Review and Tag

ADO 309334 Replace the message that these accounts may contain the DPL

The warning message is now based on the inclusion of the bus_ReportIncludesDetailedProfitLossStatementTruefalse tag and its status. This is now automatically set to True if any DPL formats are included when generated from Accounts Production.

ADO 299885 - ITS/67805 - Incorrect message "Document missing mandatory tag 'Profit (Loss)' on small LLPs

Small LLPs have the Print Selection set to "Small LLP Reduced Filing" in Accounts Production. In Review and Tag they should appear in the same way as small limited companies. Review and Tag was setting the Entity Type to "LLP (Full Accounts)" which gave rise to the error on the Companies House Errors tab. It now sets the Entity Type to "Small Entity Reduced filing (CoHo)". This setting is also used for small companies which used to appear as "Small Company Reduced filing (CoHo)".

ADO 290818 - Differences between previewed accounts in and the generated HTML in R&T

An HTML set of accounts in R&T does not appear the same as when previewed/printed in accounts production, this was due to a combination of bullet points and tagging. R&T generated HTML will now be the same as when previewed from accounts production.

ADO 297967 & 302169 - ITS 67780 (Accounts Production) Signatory on balance sheet format is blank and/or causes  IXBRL error

Correction of multiple tags relating to signatory for LTD FRS105, Ltd FRS102, IFRS101 and Group FRS102

ADO 313785 - Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) 

We have now added the ability for Review & Tag to use the SECR mass and energy unit based tags, previously using these tags caused an error. 

ADO 309724 - General tagging enhancements

Ltd FRS102/FRS105 - Company Information page - Company number

The extended view print function "tabloid" function will now work without cutting off tags when sending results to PDF.

ADO 299885 - Companies House - incorrect error warning

Error message "Document missing mandatory tag "Profit (loss)" was incorrectly showing under Company House errors for LLP FRS102.

We have also updated the Entity type description 

now renamed to Small Entity Reduced Filing (CoHo)

 

ADO 317275 - ITS/67867 - Error The value 'IMP' is not a valid currency

Setting the Country of Incorporation to Isle of Man no longer causes "The value 'IMP' is not a valid currency in the ISO 4217 namespace." when submitting to HMRC or CoHo.

ADO 321465 - ITS/67948 - ROI accounts - Report does not contain an explicit currency declaration error

When generating accounts from Accounts Production the tag bus_PrincipalCurrencyUsedInBusinessReport is automatically added to OtherData with a dimension of Euro when the country of incorporation is set to Ireland.

Some PDF files cannot be viewed by the Working Papers PDF viewer. In some cases, Central freezes . This is not necessarily either the fault of the PDF or the Working Papers viewer as PDF files can contain a huge (and changing) variety of internal file formats and we are not aware of a viewer that supports all of them.

To prevent the application freezing, Working Papers now tries to open the PDF file for up to 15 seconds, but if the time expires, then it switches to the default PDF viewer which at CCH is Adobe Acrobat Reader. This allows you to view the paper but you cannot sign it off or add notes in the same way as you can in Working Papers. So the next step is usually to print the PDF to a PDF Capture Tool:

1. Use the Print option of your PDF viewer. In the list of printers you might see a PDF Capture Tool. At CCH we use Microsoft Print to PDF. If there isn't one, ask your IT staff.
2. Select that as your "printer" and print the PDF. Your PDF viewer will try to print the PDF and convert it to a language the printer understands, but the PDF Capture Tool will interpret that language and convert it back to a new PDF file which you can save to disk. The format of the new PDF file will be different internally from the original format.
3. Now remove the old PDF which had a problem from the accounting period and add in the newly saved PDF.

You should find that you can view it within Working Papers in the usual way.

CCH Fixed Asset Register

ADO 329848 - Incorrect fixed asset register codes generated in some cases

For Asset Classes ending in a numeral, e.g. OP1 - Other PPE1, the generated asset codes got longer and longer, e.g. OP100001, OP1100002, OP11100003 ... This fix will not affect the next asset code generated for OP1 as that has already been calculated. But it will fix asset codes generated after that.

When accounts produced in CCH Accounts Production for FRS105 Micro entities the option to use reduced filing sets the accounts type in CCH iXBRL Review & Tag as (Full Accounts).

206581 - FRS 102 – Countries that are incorporated in region 3

We have an issue with the Directors Report and Investment Property note not printing correctly. The majority of users are unaffected as accounting periods incorporated in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all set to region 1. Republic or Ireland and Eire are set to region 2. Other countries fall into region 3 and there may be a format issue caused by the print condition or row conditions incorrectly testing on either region 1 or region 2.

234971 – Text entered into paragraph is more than one page in length

We have an issue where text entered into a paragraph node in the statutory database does not print correctly if it is more than one A4 page in length.  The bottom of the text ‘falls off’ the A4 page and is not continued on the following A4 page. The workaround is to split the text across two or more nodes, or if that is not possible, enter the text directly into the format cell and make the format local.
