Course description

If you are involved in advising companies (or have any dealings with Companies House filings), then this virtual classroom seminar is for you.


The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act ('ECCTA') received Royal Assent on 26 October 2023. The ECCTA builds on the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act, which introduced the Register of Overseas Entities in August 2022. The ECCTA, once in force, will radically change the nature of the Companies House Register. Many of the proposed changes will affect every company on the register.


Presented by leading trainer Jackie Sheldon, this session will update you as to likely reform impact, including discussing how best to prepare for the impending changes.
