Prepare unaudited consolidated or group financial statements

The FRS 102 Consolidated Financial Statements are audited by default. To prepare unaudited consolidated financial statements, you'll need to amend the report manually.
  1. Remove the Auditors Reports:
    1. Open the
      FRS 102 Consolidated Financial Statements
      report from the Reports List.
    2. Find the 2
      Independent Author's Reports
      in the Report Structure.
    3. Right-click on the 1st
      Independent Author's Report
      , then select
      Display
      and
      Never
      .
      This will clear the box next to the folder in the Report Structure.
    4. Repeat the previous step for the 2nd
      Independent Author's Report
      .
  2. Replace the XML code in the
    Cover Page
    folder of the report:
    1. In the Report Structure, right-click
      Cover Page

      Properties
      .
    2. Select the
      XML Source
      tab.
    3. Delete all the text in the
      XML Source
      window.
    4. Download the following ZIP file: DAPA group cover page unaudited.
    5. Extract the contents of the ZIP file and paste the code from
      dapa-group-cover-page-unaudited.txt
      into the
      XML Source
      window.
    6. Make sure that the following a message appears in the
      XML Source
      window:
      Report template is syntactically correct
      .
    7. Select
      OK
      to save your changes.

      • Exempt477
        reporting.queries.client.lookupaccountingperioddata('Disclosure|AuditorsReport|AuditExemptions|AuditExemptions|Exempt477|Current Period')[0].Value = true
      • Exempt480
        reporting.queries.client.lookupaccountingperioddata('Disclosure|AuditorsReport|AuditExemptions|AuditExemptions|Exempt480|Current Period')[0].Value = true
      • Exempt479A
        reporting.queries.client.lookupaccountingperioddata('Disclosure|AuditorsReport|AuditExemptions|AuditExemptions|Exempt479A|Current Period')[0].Value = true

      note
      The templates you need to copy are as follows.

      Display
      and
      Always
      .
  5. Remove the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities Introduction template:
    1. Go to the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities page of the report.
    2. Right-click on the 1st paragraph, then select
      Highlight in Report Structure
      .

      Introduction
      template in the Report Structure, then select
