This webinar will summarise the key changes that the Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023 has had on the Companies Act 2006, as well as looking forward to the significant updates still to come. This session will explore what we know so far about director and PSC ID verification requirements, and the need for accountants to register as Authorised Corporate Service Providers with Companies House. We will also look at the latest developments related to financial reporting, including updates to company size thresholds and consultations on narrative reporting requirements.
