Definitely get the fraudsters. I help run a number of small not for profit companies. Getting annual accounts and director changes etc is real hard work for volunteers, and even the small fines for late filing of accounts hurt. Reading this makes me very cross.
The questions need to be put to CH about what they are doing to spot rogue filings and more importantly what they are actually doing to prevent such activity and pursuing the serial offenders.
Without all three working together with adequate resources nothing will change.
Meanwhile many politicians have multiple directorship entries under different expressions of their names in breach of Companies Act rules. Does Dan know or care?
Should/could there not be a process to ensure that only audited accounts, and perhaps other records, are submitted by known entities, say by regulated auditors, rather than the companies themselves?

Freudian slip or typo it matters not - suspect Companies House already have tools crawling data
Thank goodness for DN and all TPA teams who know how to trawl efficiently & effectively for fraud.
Great work. I doubt the government will do anything about it. They’re only interested in stealing from pensioners, farmers etc.

Good work to bring it into focus.

These fake businesses, they have ties back to Russia somewhere in their lineage, I suppose? Good report, thank you.
