Maintain Full Confidence, Control, and Compliance Throughout the Year

Annual statutory compliance is a fundamental requirement for every UK company, regardless of its size, age, or industry. It is not simply a formality. It is the core of your legal standing as a business and a reflection of how professionally your company is governed. The UK corporate environment places great emphasis on transparency, accuracy, accountability and proper record-keeping — and failing to meet these obligations can lead to penalties, reputational risk, administrative burdens or even dissolution.

Audit Consulting Group provides fully managed, high-precision annual statutory compliance services designed to support company directors, shareholders, investors and corporate secretaries in fulfilling every requirement smoothly, accurately and on time. Our approach combines regulatory knowledge, Companies House expertise, HMRC compliance awareness and high-level corporate governance oversight.

When ACG manages your annual statutory compliance, you don’t just “tick the box.” You protect your business, strengthen your governance framework, reduce risk, enhance investor trust, and ensure your company stays legally sound throughout the year.

Why Annual Statutory Compliance Matters

Statutory compliance is a legal obligation for every incorporated company in the UK. Proper compliance ensures that all official corporate information remains accurate, updated and aligned with real company activity. Even a minor oversight, such as an incorrect director detail or a missed deadline, can produce significant consequences.

Maintaining compliance matters because:

Ensures legal continuity

Companies that fail to file the required documents can be struck off the register and forcibly dissolved.

Protects directors from penalties

Directors may face fines or restrictions if the company is non-compliant.

Builds trust with banks and investors

Financial institutions require clear, accurate, up-to-date statutory records.

Supports corporate governance

Well-maintained statutory records provide clarity across leadership, ownership and structure.

Enables fundraising and transactions

During audits, investment rounds, valuations or sales, a compliant statutory history is essential.

Helps avoid delays and administrative burdens

Correct filings prevent issues with HMRC, Companies House, auditors or legal advisers.

Annual statutory compliance is not optional — it is part of responsible business stewardship.

What Our Annual Statutory Compliance Service Includes

Audit Consulting Group provides a comprehensive, end-to-end package that covers all annual statutory requirements for UK companies. We go far beyond simple filing — we review, verify, update, advise and support every part of your corporate governance framework.

Annual Confirmation Statement

We prepare and file your Confirmation Statement accurately and on time, ensuring that key information such as share structure, PSC details, company officers and registered office details are correct and fully compliant.

Annual Accounts Timeline Monitoring

While your accountant may prepare the final accounts, the filing responsibility and deadlines state remain critical. We help monitor deadlines, notify you in advance and ensure no delays occur.

Review and Update of Statutory Registers

We conduct a full annual review of:

• Register of Members
• Register of Directors
• Register of PSCs
• Register of Allotments
• Register of Transfers
• Register of Charges (if applicable)

Accurate registers are legally required and form the backbone of good governance.

Companies House Record Updates

Throughout the year, companies change — new directors, new shareholders, updated addresses, share allocations and more. We ensure all changes are filed correctly, preventing inconsistencies and compliance gaps.

PSC Compliance Oversight

Companies must maintain accurate and up-to-date People with Significant Control records. We verify details, update changes and file necessary notices to ensure full compliance with UK law.

Monitoring & Notifications

We track important statutory timelines and notify directors in advance of:

• filing deadlines
• mandatory changes
• legislative updates
• governance requirements

Directors are never caught off guard.

Share Structure & Capital Review

Every year we verify that:

• share classes
• ownership percentages
• voting rights
• capital statements

remain correctly recorded and consistent with internal governance documents.

Articles & Governance Review (Optional)

Companies evolve and their governance documents must evolve too. We review your Articles of Association annually to identify areas needing clarification or amendment.

Director Compliance Review

We ensure directors meet their statutory duties and that all changes of roles, resignations or new appointments are correctly executed and recorded.

HMRC Alignment Check

We ensure Companies House records and HMRC records remain consistent, minimising audit risks and administrative complications.
