The limited liability company is the main form of business organization in the United Kingdom, and the capital market provides the main source of funding for business. Consequently, facilitating the efficient working of the capital market is the primary purpose of accounting. There are approximately 15,000 private limited companies (PLCs), of which about 2,500 are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The United Kingdom has by far the greatest number of companies listed on a regulated market in the European Union. Listed companies and other large companies file a full set of audited annual financial statements with the Registrar Of Companies. The annual report of a UK-Listed company typically includes, in addition to financial statements, a chairperson's statement, an Operating and financial review, the report of the directors, the report of the remuneration committee, a statement on corporate governance, and shareholding information.
