Charities (FRS 102) Master Pack 24.00
Key changes
This pack has been improved throughout. An updated User Guide is available in User Docs here.
The following changes are included:
- The Information page now has a table for disclosing key management personnel, as required by the Charities SORP for charities classified as "large".
- The Trustees report now has subheadings, plus a section for fund-raising standards as required by the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016.
- The Balance sheet has been simplified and has additional checks for the completeness of information. The full pensions reserve is shown where it exists, and unnecessary separate reserves for hedging and revaluation have been removed.
- On the SOFA, line descriptions have been changed to match the SORP and unnecessary paragraphs have been removed or made optional. A dormant option has been introduced.
- On notes generally, the layout has been improved and standardised, enabling current+comparative to fit in portrait in most cases. Complicated name range formulae have been replaced by simple Excel-type formulae wherever possible. Keep together has been improved and columnflex has been applied throughout.
- Wrapping problems for headings have been fixed by replacing previous paragraph links with text entered in grids in the statutory database.
- The use of a separate "Material" fund has been clarified and simplified.
- Additional guidance has been added to many nodes in the statutory database.
- The Impairments note now discloses information in an automatic table rather than in paragraphs.
- The Tax note has been simplified and clarified for the user.
- A redundancy paragraph was added to the Employees note and the key management remuneration costs were moved here, from Related parties.
- For all the Fixed assets notes, the separate ROI version was removed because it is no longer relevant.
- Funds notes entries in the statutory database have been improved and now include a default row to pick up the unallocated balance, plus the display of the totals to reconcile to.
- The Net assets analysis now uses the same column headings as those in the SOFA and the comparatives have been moved to display below the current figures. In both the format and the entry grid in the statutory database, there are cross-checks to show agreement with balance sheet values for funds.
- Support and governance disclosure has been fully reworked and now offers a simple method for disclosure in line with the SORP, with a new option to analyse support by cost categories in a table, as the SORP suggests.
User input required
Various column headings/descriptions have been replaced by database grid entries in this master pack. Since it is not possible to carry forward these older style headings, there is a new page ("New descriptions") in the Management section of the Financial Statements, which lists the old headings and provides the statutory database reference for entering the new headings to replace them with. An example is shown below:

Quality Improvements
CCH Accounts Production
ADO 293915 - Speed up processing iXBRL tags in database upgrade
The 2023.2 AP database upgrade was slow due to adding iXBRL tags for the new FRC2023 taxonomies to accounts pages. The processing of iXBRL tags has now been speeded up which will improve the database upgrade for releases in which new taxonomies are introduced.
ADO 298848 - In a consolidation, if an officer is deleted from the Parent it is not being deleted from the Group
In a consolidation, the officers on the Group company are taken from the Parent company. On the Group company you can neither add nor delete officers. If an officer is added to the Parent then it is automatically added to the Group. But the reverse was not working. If an officer was deleted from the Parent it was not being deleted from the Group. This is now fixed.
There are still other circumstances where a user may find they have an officer on the Group that is not on the Parent. But this change offers a simple workaround for this situation. Add the officer to the Parent and delete it again. It will then be deleted from the Group.
ADO 299782 - Change the Task Permission required to Change the Sequence of accounts pages
Previously the permission required was Business Type# Financial Statements #Edit Format. But it has been pointed out that changing the order of pages is a safer operation than editing the formats themselves. So this function is now controlled by Business Type# Financial Statements #Edit Format Pagination. #Edit Format Pagination lets you open a page and insert page breaks at appropriate points. Changing the order of the pages seems to be more similar to inserting page breaks than actually editing a format.
CCH Review and Tag
The following quality improvements have been made to licensing in this release.
VSTS - 299901 - ProfitLoss tag
Correction to the xml document generated from AP, due to the incorporation of the Detailed Profit & Loss taxonomy into the main FRS taxononies, the ProfitLoss tag was not being set correctly

VSTS/299407 - "Attach to CT Return" button is not enabled in Review and tag
The inclusion of the DPL taxonomy caused the "Attach to CT" button to be disabled in error. The button will now be permanently enabled.

This will show as duplicate fact value errors when exported to CCH iXBRL Review & Tag. |
In CCH iXBRL Review & Tag double-click on the duplicate fact value error within the Exceptions tab. This will take you to the tagged area that has the error. Left-click on the tagged area and amend the dimension to the correct value. |
TBC |
| 24/12/2020 | 61704 | Companies House submission database showing Client Code as NA The submission database was updated in 2020.3 to include the client code from CCH Central to enable users to report on filings by client code. This code is obtained by matching the company name within the CCH iXBRL Review & Tag file to the database within CCH Central. If, however your client's name in CCH Central does not match the Company name reported within the accounts, the entry will be logged as NA. |
Ensure that you client name in CCH Central and the Company name reported in the accounts match. | TBC |
| 15/12/2021 | 61694 | Micro Entities set to Full accounts when using reduced filing option. 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). This is due to there being no legal form of accounts recognised as filleted so the option defaults to Full. |
If you are producing reduced filing accounts for Micro entities to file at Companies House. Leave the entity type as Micro Entities (Full Accounts). Do not change to Small Companies Reduced filing. | TBC |
| 25/08/2020 | 59571 | FRS102 Sec1 A small Companies - Full Accounts filing throws an error “Document missing mandatory tag Statement on quality and completeness of information provided to auditors" is reported when Customers try to file an FRS102 Sec1A Full accounts to Companies House. The majority of the FRS102 Sec1A Small Companies file Small company reduced filing version, there is nothing to prevent filing of a full accounts to CCH. The entity type is set to full in error and this causes the error. | The error can be ignored, and accounts filed. To prevent the error, change the entity type in document information to Small Companies Reduced filing. If after making this change, another exception on Applicable Legislation appears, you need to add this tag in other data and select Small Companies Regime. | TBC |
| 01/12/2017 | TBC | FRS 105 Audited – reduced filing Companies House Submissions in CCH iXBRL Review & Tag We do not currently support iXBRL filing for audited 105 accounts. The concept of audited 105 is still in its infancy; please paper file until we receive more guidance on this issue. |

| 01/10/2020 | 60609 | Charity FRS 102 -Filing exception on Directors responsibilities note from balance sheet for charitable companies The paragraph on directors’ responsibilities on the balance sheet is not switching the word items #wd18 and #wd3 for charitable companies where a single director is marked as the balance sheet signatory. It is not switching to the singular term 'acknowledge' and 'his/her ' from 'acknowledges' and 'their'. This causes a fatal 9999 error in CCH IXBRL Review & Tag when filing to Companies House. |
This is an issue in CCH Accounts Production but CCH iXBRL Review & Tag users need to be aware. Workaround -Update/edit the tag in review and tag to the correct wording and submit. When editing it is good practice to edit the content, copy to a note pad and then copy back and apply the tag. |

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.
