As the November 18th ECCT Act deadline approaches, we are busy updating Inform Direct to help you seamlessly navigate the new legislation.
A key focus has also gone in to expanding where users can identity check individuals and in turn use the ACSP portal to send personal codes to your Directors, LLP members and PSCs. For more information on the legislative changes please read the following blog.
Entering personal codes in to Inform Direct
We strongly recommend entering the personal codes for your directors, LLP members and PSCs as soon as possible to ensure smooth confirmation statement and PSC verification statement filings when the deadlines arrives.
A few weeks ago, we enhanced Inform Direct with new functionality that enables you to identity check existing officers and PSCs directly within the platform. We hope you’re already benefiting from the streamlined verification process, along with the comprehensive reporting tools that show you at a glance who has been identity checked and who has personal codes recorded in Inform Direct.
A better way to manage company secretarial work
Inform Direct is the perfect tool to help make company secretarial work a whole lot easier:
> Manage details of officers, PSCs and shares
> ACSPs can use integrated identity verification
> Options to automate confirmation statements
> Easy filing of forms with Companies House
> Create documents from 400+ templates
What’s New: Identity verification at every step
We’re excited to announce that identity checking is now integrated throughout other key workflows.
You can now verify identities seamlessly during:
- Company incorporation – verify directors and PSCs when setting up new companies
- Officer appointment – check identities as you appoint new officers
- Adding a PSC – verify PSCs as part of the notification to Companies House
Add an individual
When adding a Director, LLP member, or PSC through the relevant processes, if no Companies House personal code has been entered, the option to identity check the individual will be available.
Completing the people stage of an incorporation
When completing the ‘Persons’ section of an incorporation, you will be asked if you would like to identity check any individuals who do not have a personal code entered.
