1. This information has been extracted from a new computerised database being built up by the Treasury. There is a risk that the names of some bodies may not yet he on the database, but the list is substantially complete.
2. The list includes bodies producing commercial style accruals accounts, and some bodies at present producing cash accounts which in tend to move over to an accruals basis shortly.
3. The list excludes Memorandum Trading Accounts (MTAs): as Government Accounting paragraph G: 4(c) explains these are informal working documents. Treasury "direction" of the form that MTAs take is through the dissemination of general guidelines to departments.
4. The abbreviations used to categorise public bodies are:
"NDPB": non-departmental public body;
"Department": a Government department;
"Trad Fund": a trading fund established under the Government Trading Funds Act, plus the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority; and
"Supp'l Account": an account for a service conducted by a department, for which audited commercial style accounts are produced and published.
5. The references in the final column to indicate the form and place of publication mean:
"Annual accounts available from HMSO": these are formal "White Paper", accounts as defined in Government Accounting (Section 0 Paragraph 185), printed by HMSO and laid before Parliament;
"Annual accounts available from Body": the accounts are not laid before Parliament, but copies may be obtained from the body itself.
