Quick Summary
Generally, private limited companies in the UK are required by the Companies Act to follow the accrual system of accounting. However, there can be specific circumstances or interpretations where a cash basis might be considered, particularly for tax purposes. It's crucial for companies to clearly declare their chosen accounting basis in their annual accounts to ensure consistency and compliance.

The consistency concept also avoids many conflicts and luckily there is no concept as of now which prohibits any transaction. 

Any change must be declared all at once.
