Once a quarter, we consult on proposed miscellaneous amendments to our Handbook. These tend to be minor changes but we still want to get your feedback on our proposals.

We are proposing:

- Alterations to the question and guidance notes (SUP 16 Annex 1B) for form FIN-A (Annual Report and Accounts form)
- To amend the TD ESEF Regulation on corporate reporting in machine-readable electronic format, which relates to our rules in DTR 4.1, to allow issuers to use a wider range of taxonomies when preparing annual financial reports for the financial years starting on or after 1 January 2021 and 2022
- Changes to PERG to take account of the increased scope of participants permitted to bid on the UK emission trading scheme auction platform – notably, certain third country firms
