Solvency statement

If there is doubt over whether the company can pay its debts as and when they become due and payable, the directors should make a qualified or negative statement. The statement should clearly identify the item which is the subject of qualification and disclose monetary details where practicable. For example:

  • The company will not be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable
  • There is a material uncertainty as to the ability of the company to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable (for example, being dependent upon the ability to renegotiate loans due for repayment)

 

 

Declarations

Edit text blocks to be more specific than 'The directors have been given the declarations required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001', such as quoting the titles such as 'The directors have been given the declarations by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001'.

Blank lines at the end of sections/notes

By default, the software will insert a text block (which appears as a blank line in the report) at the end of sections and/or notes to separate them. If the section and/or note contains large tables or text blocks which span the entire page, the blank line will be pushed onto the next page. This results in the section/note header re-printing with the (continued) wording even though there is no relevant information on the next page.

 

To prevent the header from re-printing:

  • Navigate to the affected note or section
  • In the affected note/section, select Settings
  • Under Print blank lines at end of section/note, select No
