About Consultation

This consultation concerns proposed changes to the reporting requirements for the Annual Performance Report (APR). The reporting requirements for the APR are contained in our regulatory accounting guidelines (RAGs). They set out the information companies must collect and publish, and ensures that data is published consistently across the sector. This promotes transparency and allows all stakeholders to understand and challenge companies.

We intend to publish the finalised RAGs in late 2020. These changes will be effective for the 2020-21 reporting year.

Following the launch of the consultation we have found that the line definitions for tables 5A, 6A and 6B did not correspond to the correct version of the tables. We also omitted a new line in table 6A (now line 5). This document sets out the correct versions of the line definitions and table 6A.
