Last month we added the ability to generate share option certificates. This month we are improving a few existing areas of the system, some of which were requested by our users – thank you for sending in your suggestions.

As with this type of update there are:

  • individual process changes
  • useful improvements for users (often from user feedback)
  • performance improvements

Need to run a report?

Many reports are available to be run across your portfolio, or on individual companies - another great benefit of an Inform Direct subscription.

Invalid authentication codes

A company may change its authentication code. Where this occurs, and the authentication code stored in Inform Direct no longer matches the new code at Companies House, we’ll raise an alert for the company in Inform Direct to let you know.

When this occurs for a company, Inform Direct will:

  • Raise a ‘Check alert’ for the company on the portfolio screen
  • Shown an alert on the company’s dashboard
  • Email a notification to let you know

Until the authentication code is updated in Inform Direct submissions will be rejected by Companies House: this is why we’ve built this process so you’re informed as soon as it’s discovered.

Some other improvements that have been made in this update:

  • Variety of small enhancements to the micro-entity accounts process following user feedback
