🚨 23 directors. 70 YEARS of bans.
Companies House has banned 23 company directors so far this year, with their disqualifications adding up to around 70 years.
And this wasn’t for fraud.
It wasn’t for phoenixing companies.
It was for failing to file their accounts on time.
It’s a significant reminder that Companies House compliance isn’t just an administrative box-ticking exercise.
Directors have a legal responsibility to ensure company accounts and other statutory filings are submitted correctly and on time — and persistent failure can have consequences that go far beyond a late filing penalty.
At HPL Accountancy, we keep on top of your statutory deadlines so you don’t have to.
