UK Companies Act 2006 for Auditors
What does UK Companies Act 2006 require of a Auditor?
The continuing obligations of the UK Companies Act 2006 for a registered company: constitution and name rules, trading disclosures, registered office and email, the register of members and people with significant control, directors' duties and identity verification, resolutions and meetings, accounts, audit and Companies House filings. Under UK Companies Act 2006, which defines 43 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
