Professional Statutory Register Update for UK Companies — Stay Compliant, Accurate & Protected
Every UK company is legally required to maintain accurate and up-to-date statutory records. These records form the backbone of your corporate identity, governance structure, shareholder information, and compliance obligations.
However, many companies — especially fast-growing startups and SMEs — discover that their records are incomplete, outdated, inconsistent, or incorrectly filed. This is extremely common and often unintentional, but it creates significant risks:
- fines and penalties
- legal disputes
- shareholder conflicts
- delays in funding rounds
- obstacles during audits
- challenges with banks or investors
- Companies House scrutiny
- non-compliance with Companies Act 2006
At Audit Consulting Group (ACG), we specialise in bringing your corporate records up to date quickly, professionally, and in full compliance with UK law.
Whether you need minor corrections, complete reconstruction, or a full review of all statutory records, our experts ensure everything is accurate, aligned, and legally secure.
Why Accurate Company Records Are Critical
Most businesses don’t realise how essential accurate corporate records really are until a problem appears. These documents are inspected by:
- Companies House
- HMRC
- Investors
- Banks
- Auditors
- Solicitors during acquisitions
- Potential partners
- Shareholders
Outdated or incorrect records can instantly raise red flags.
The Following Records Must Always Be Up-to-Date:
✔ Register of Members (Shareholders)
Required as legal proof of ownership.
✔ Register of Directors
Must reflect current appointments and resignations accurately.
✔ Register of People with Significant Control (PSC)
Hugely important for transparency laws.
✔ Registered Office address
Essential for receiving legal notifications.
✔ Share allotment & transfer records
Proof of changes in ownership.
✔ Director service addresses
Must be updated promptly.
✔ Company officers’ information
Full legal responsibility.
✔ Accounting & compliance deadlines
To avoid penalties.
✔ Confirmation Statement data
Must match internal records.
✔ Articles of Association updates
When changes occur.
Without consistent, accurate records, a business risks compliance failures and legal exposure.
