Companies House consultation on ‘Corporate transparency and register reform: powers of the registrar’: January 2021

Recommendations:

1. Risk-based approach to querying data must be based on a sufficiently wide scope of risk indicators and updated continually in light of emerging threats.
2. Companies House must be given new resources to query records and intervene where necessary including expanding the number of forensic accountants to monitor increasingly complex fraud risks.
3. Annotation and removal of documents would help the public to navigate risks and promote overall compliance.
