What is the Signed Accounts page for?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/signed-accounts
Every company's statutory year end on one shelf: the submitted (filleted) accounts, the signed full accounts, the CT600 and the tax computation, each marked Final or Draft with the date it was filed, plus that year's saved drafts and its supporting papers. Pivot by company or by financial year. The accounts team uploads — one slot at a time or a whole folder that Saral reads and files — pulls the public accounts from Companies House, and sees whether Xero's lock dates reach each filed year end. Anyone else holding a document key sees the same shelf read-only, to read, download and share. Nothing here prepares a return or files one; the shelf holds what was signed and filed elsewhere. You enter: A file into a slot — Submitted accounts, Signed accounts, CT600 or Tax computation — for a company and year end: click the slot or drop the file on it. Final or Draft at drop time, and flipped on the shelf; A folder of files into Bulk drop: each is read, classified and filed to its company, year and slot, Final or Draft per batch; an occupied slot is never overwritten; The filing date on a Final slot that has none, and the supporting papers for a year end in its drawer — filing receipts, the approval minute, the representation letter, the year-end trail; Delete, by typing the company's name — refused while the account's deletion lock is on. Saral fills: The shelf itself: one card per year end under its company or its financial year, each slot's file, size, Final / Draft badge and filing date, and the count of supporting papers; The year's saved drafts from Draft Accounts — up to five by as-at date, rendered from today's figures rather than stored — and Not applicable on the Companies House and CT600 slots of a foreign subsidiary; From Companies House: the publicly filed accounts into the Submitted slot, per year end, skipping years already filled; the full accounts are not public and are uploaded by hand; Locked in Xero: both lock dates per company against the latest year end on the shelf, with Filed — not locked in red where a final year is still open in Xero, and the count of lines changed after filing; What the CT600 says — the period end and losses — read off the file when it is uploaded. It produces: The statutory record each year end, shared with that year's audit run on its Filings tab, and the Form Fill 'From Saral' accounts source; A preview and an audited download of every file, and the evidence an auditor or a lender asks for in one place. Where the settings live: Accounts → Settings → Document Protection owns the deletion lock. Company numbers for the Companies House pull come from Company Structure. Which year end a company has is read from Settings → Financial year. Who authors is the Admin / Accounts role; who reads is the three document keys — statutory, tax and draft — each deciding its own class of document in the read-only payload.
