Course Details

Beneficial owners and PSCs are the same things – right? Not exactly! Beneficial Owners and PSCs (Persons of Significant Control) are very similar, but there are differences. In fact, both beneficial owner and PSC requirements are widely misunderstood or not followed. This session aims to carefully explain for UK accountants and bookkeepers these terms and the surrounding requirements, both for the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and for Companies House.

 

In this session David Winch will cover the following topics:

 

  • Who is a beneficial owner for a UK company?
  • Who is a PSC for a UK company?
  • Where do they overlap and where do they differ?
  • What do we have to do about them to comply with MLR 2017?
  • What do we have to do about them for Companies House?


By attending this session, attendees will correctly understand the terms beneficial owner and PSC for a UK company and the surrounding requirements of both the MLR 2017 and Companies House.

 

The session is intended for accountants and bookkeepers, particularly those acting for UK owner-managed companies.
