No Scottish Limited Partnerships have been referred to the Insolvency Service or to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service for non-compliance with the Persons of Significant Control regulations.

Companies House is working closely with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to prepare the grounds for prosecutions. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has recognised Companies House as a specialist reporting agency.

Companies House’s focus has been on compliance with the Regulations. Since they came into force in July 2017, Companies House has written to all Scottish Limited Partnerships that it considers are active to seek compliance with the filing requirements. The majority of Scottish Limited Partnerships do correct their filings following a first intervention from Companies House and the number of non-compliant Scottish Limited Partnerships has continued to fall.
