Annual financial statements

Audit requirements

Larger pharmacies may be subject to mandatory audit requirements.

Filing requirements

Pharmacies must file their annual financial statements with Companies House.

How CTMP can help pharmaceutical businesses manage risk

The pharmaceutical industry can be exposed to a number of risks. Here are some topics we can advise you on how to manage your pharmaceutical company’s exposure to risk:

Insurance coverage

Shield your business from financial losses due to unexpected events, such as theft, fire, or property damage.

Risk assessment and planning

Proactively identify potential risks and develop a plan to mitigate them. This could include establishing data security protocols or conducting regular inventory audits.

Financial planning and budgeting

Maintaining a sound financial plan and budget can help you absorb unexpected financial shocks and ensure you have the resources necessary to recover from unforeseen events.

Supplier and vendor relationships

Building strong supplier and vendor relationships can ensure a stable supply chain. Negotiating favourable payment terms and diversifying your supplier base can also help mitigate risk.

Regulatory compliance

It’s important to stay up-to-date on changes to industry regulations and adapt your practises accordingly. This can help you avoid costly penalties and reputational damage.

Technology and data security

Implementing robust security measures, such as firewalls, encryption, and employee training on cybersecurity best practises, can protect your pharmacy from data breaches and other threats.

Employee training and development

Regularly training your staff on safety protocols, security procedures, and emergency response plans can help reduce the risk of accidents, errors, and security breaches.

Emergency precautions and business continuity planning

Outline how your pharmacy will respond to natural disasters, power outages, or outbreaks of infectious diseases. This should include procedures for safeguarding staff and customers, maintaining essential operations, and recovering from the event.
