Companies House - How to beat Company
Identity Theft
The recent increase in media interest in personal
identity theft has provided a reminder that company identity theft at
Companies House is still a major problem for UK limited companies.
These companies are being encouraged to proactively take action to
deal with company filing fraud at
Companies
House. There are over two million company records held by
Companies House which currently reports that of the five hundred
thousand documents filed at Companies House each month, including
company
accounts, approximately fifty are identified as false.
Company hijacking at Companies House can involve:
The company directors are changed - Fraudsters file
change in
company director forms 288 to notify Companies House of a change
to the company's officers. These will either be stolen identities of
real people or completely fictitious individuals pretending to be a
company director. They will also notify Companies House that the
company's true officers have all resigned.
The companies registered office is changed -
Fraudsters file a form 287, signed by a bogus company director, to
change the company's registered office to an address of their choice
at Companies House. Once this is done, any communications from
Companies House will be sent to the company at the new registered
office, ensuring that the company itself doesn't receive notifications
from Companies House of any future changes.
Supporting documentation may be obtained - The
fraudsters notify Companies House and effectively have the company
under their control as far as third parties are concerned, as they
appear to be the legitimate company directors. In order to give
credibility in their subsequent dealings with third-parties, the
fraudsters may request, for example, a Certificate of Good Standing
from Companies House. This official document then confirms the status
of the fraudsters as being the company directors.
As far as third parties are concerned, the fraudsters appear to have
gained control of a company and appear to be the geniune company
directors. This can include obtaining supporting documentation from
Companies House and then approaching suppliers of high value, easily
disposable, goods and placing orders apparently on behalf of the
company, with delivery being made to the company's "new" bogus
registered office, which the fraudsters can obviously access.
In another case, the owner of a business was surprised to discover
that the registered office of his family business had been changed
from the address at which it had been located for the last hundred
years. Even the company's nameplate was stolen from the building where
it was located.
Since April 2005, identified instances of company filing fraud seem to
have leveled off below the peak, but are still at a relatively high
historical level of approximately fifty incidents a month. The
Metropolitan Police agree that a single filing fraud could cost £1
million and could very seriously damage the victim business.
One large part of the fraud is that the company itself doesn't
discover the changes at Companies House until the fraudsters have had
time to complete their scam and then disappear.
Other frauds include setting up bogus companies, falsely adjusting
company accounts and even stealing the identity of the auditor to
ensure that these company accounts appear to be credible. A credit
agency has recently revealed that nine auditors have had their details
taken to approve a false set of company accounts over the last nine
months. Another hundred sets of company accounts have been set up
using completely fictitious auditor details over the same period.
Companies House now offers a protected on-line filing scheme (PROOF)
where only mutually approved documents, including company accounts,
are registered. Companies are also advised to use an online monitoring
service advising companies each time a change of record has been made.
It is highly likely that the new Companies Act will create a new
offence under which a person who knowingly or recklessly delivers or
causes to be delivered to Companies House a document, including
company accounts, that is misleading, false or deceptive in a material
particular, will be liable to imprisonment for up to two years, or a
fine, or both.
