smallcap reads the accounts
Every annual report for AIM companies, opened page by page: the statements, the notes, the printed scale, the restated comparatives.
Checks every figure eight ways
Two readings of every figure, then eight deterministic checks. Anything that doesn’t tie is held back and flagged, never quietly published.

How it works · three steps
From the filed PDF
to a figure you can trust
Every number on smallcap goes through the same pipeline: read from the report exactly as printed, checked against a second filing, then tested before it is published. Here it is for one figure.
See how it worksReads the filing
Opens each annual report and reads the statements as printed, keeping the caption, column, scale and page for every figure.
Reconciles two readings
Compares each figure with the comparative in the following year’s report, confirming matches and keeping restatements side by side.
Validates and publishes
Runs the deterministic checks, holds back anything that fails, and serves the rest through the dashboard. An API is coming soon.

Every figure is read twice, once as filed and once from the following year's comparative. Here is where the two disagreed, and by how much.

FAQ
Questions,
answered
Where the numbers come from, why each is read twice, and what happens when something doesn’t add up.
All 8 questions01What can smallcap tell me?
Ten years of income statement, balance sheet and cash flow figures for AIM companies, plus the derived metrics analysts screen on: growth, margins, cash conversion, dilution, net debt. Every figure carries the filing, page and column it was read from.
02Where do the numbers come from?
From the annual reports themselves, as filed at Companies House and, for overseas-incorporated companies, SEDAR, SEC EDGAR, the ASX or the FCA's National Storage Mechanism. Nothing is taken from a data vendor or a summary.
03Why two readings of every figure?
Each figure is read twice, once from the report for that year and once from the comparative column of the following year's report. When the two agree, the figure is confirmed. When they differ, the later value is kept as a restatement and the original is shown beside it.
04What happens when something doesn't add up?
Eight deterministic checks run on every period: the balance sheet balances, subtotals tie, cash reconciles, EPS and dividends recompute. A figure that fails is held back and flagged in the dashboard rather than published as clean.
