Description

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (‘ECCTA’) received Royal Assent on 26 October 2023. One key element of the ECCTA is the introduction of a new identity verification process. This impacts anyone setting up, running, owning or controlling a company in the UK.

This session will benefit anyone who has any dealings with Companies House (including members of LLPs, who will also need to verify).

We will cover:

  • Key dates
  • Who will need to verify
  • How to self verify (and how the process impacts appointments of directors and PSCs)
  • Implications for becoming an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (‘ACSP’), including the role as ACSP and consequences of failure to comply with requirements
  • How ACSPs can verify their clients
