''UK Company law''.  
Abbreviated accounts are accounts which contain less information than full accounts.


In order to reduce administrative burdens on small and medium sized companies in the UK, they are not required under UK company law to produce full accounts for public filing at Companies House. 
Also known as 'abridged' accounts.
Instead they are allowed to prepare and file shorter-form 'abbreviated accounts'.


However, fuller-form and more detailed company accounts are still required for other purposes.  For example for tax purposes and for reporting to the shareholders.
