196: Overview
or “This section summarises which companies must follow financial reporting rules”
You could also call this:

“Companies with other financial reporting duties don't need to follow these rules”

This part of the law doesn’t apply to your company or an overseas company for a certain time period if you already have to prepare financial statements under other laws. These other laws are subpart 3 of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 or section 55 of the Financial Reporting Act 2013. This means you don’t have to follow these rules if you’re already following similar rules in other laws about financial reporting.
