Professional UK Company Records Update Services — Accurate, Compliant & Essential for Your Legal Obligations

Every UK company — regardless of size — must maintain accurate, complete, and fully up-to-date statutory records, and must notify Companies House whenever key changes occur. These records are not optional. They form the core of your company’s legal identity and corporate governance obligations.

However, many business owners unintentionally overlook them.

Over time, as directors change, shareholders shift, shareholdings evolve, company addresses are updated, or internal structures adjust, statutory records often become outdated or incomplete. Unfortunately, outdated records can put your entire company at risk, including legal penalties, fines, compliance breaches, investor disputes, and even invalid corporate decisions.

At Audit Consulting Group (ACG), we help companies maintain accurate, compliant, and complete statutory records — ensuring your business stays protected, legally secure, and always ready for audits, investors, and regulatory checks.

We go far beyond basic updates. We perform deep compliance checks, correct historical errors, ensure alignment across all registers, reconcile Companies House data, and provide full guidance every step of the way.

Why Keeping Company Records Updated Is Critical

Many business owners assume updating records is simply “admin work”. In reality, it’s far more important. Statutory records are the legal backbone of your company. If they are wrong, incomplete, or missing, you can face multiple issues.

What Happens When Records Are Not Updated?

✔ Legal penalties and warnings

Companies House can send compliance notices, impose penalties, or escalate issues to enforcement.

✔ Investor or shareholder disputes

If registers do not accurately reflect ownership, disagreements can quickly arise.

✔ Blocked banking or funding

Banks and investors rely heavily on accurate statutory records to verify your company’s legitimacy.

✔ Invalid decisions

Certain board or shareholder decisions can be challenged if records were incorrect at the time.

✔ HMRC complications

Tax authorities may challenge filings if they don’t match statutory documentation.

✔ Risk during M&A or due diligence

Inaccurate records can reduce company value or kill deals entirely.

✔ Loss of trust

Suppliers, clients, and partners can lose confidence if your public records look disorganised or outdated.

✔ Director liability risks

Directors can be held responsible for failing to keep records updated.

Keeping your records current is not only best practice — it is legally mandatory.

What’s Included in Our Records Update Service

1. Full Review of Existing Company Records

We begin with a deep analysis of your current documentation.
This includes examining:

• current statutory registers
• Companies House filings
• historical changes
• unreported shareholder movements
• missing documentation
• internal mistakes from past accountants

This is more than a “quick check” — it’s a forensic review, ensuring that every detail is correct, consistent, and legally valid.

2. Identification of Gaps, Mistakes & Compliance Risks

Most companies have errors they don’t know about.
We frequently encounter issues such as:

• directors listed incorrectly
• outdated shareholder details
• incomplete PSC registers
• missing share certificates
• mismatched information between Companies House and internal registers
• incorrect share class descriptions
• missing allotment entries
• transfers never recorded
• address inconsistencies

We identify every issue and explain the consequences — and then fix them.

3. Updating Companies House Information

We prepare and file all necessary updates, including:

• Director appointments
• Director resignations
• PSC updates
• Registered office address changes
• SIC code updates
• Share structure adjustments
• Confirmation Statement updates
• Name changes
• Shareholder changes (indirectly via CS01)

We ensure every filing adheres to Companies House requirements.

4. Updating Statutory Registers

Internal registers are legally required — but most businesses neglect them.

We update and/or recreate:

• Register of Members (shareholders)
• Register of Directors
• Register of PSCs
• Register of Allotments
• Register of Transfers
• Register of Charges
• Register of Secretaries
• hare Certificates (if required)
• Capital structure documentation

These registers override all other ownership documents, including certificates.

5. Preparing or Correcting Share Certificates

If certificates were never issued, were incorrect, or don’t match records, we fix them.

Each certificate includes:

• certificate number
• shareholder details
• share class
• number of shares
• nominal value
• issue date
• authorised signatures

We can also produce replacement certificates if originals are lost.

6. PSC Register Verification & Update

The PSC register is often misunderstood but extremely important.
Errors here can trigger HMRC red flags or investor concerns.

We update:

• ownership percentages
• control rights
• statement conditions
• filing obligations

7. Register Reconciliation & Compliance Report

We produce a detailed corporate compliance report including:

• what was updated
• what was corrected
• what risks were removed
• what is still recommended going forward

This transparency helps directors understand the company’s legal position.

8. Ongoing Maintenance (Optional)

If you want continuous compliance, ACG can maintain all registers and filings for you.
