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 course 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 course David Winch covers 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?
