Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether Companies House has key performance indicators to measure the quality of information on the registry.

Work is underway to develop key performance indicators and establish baselines to measure the quality of information on the Companies House register. The need for this work has been triggered by the implementation of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA).

The key performance indicators will include assessments of compliance levels, adherence to data standards and measurement of the value of the information on the Register.

Companies House are also investigating ways to estimate false, misleading and inaccurate information in line with the Registrar’s objectives under ECCTA. This will be based on the threats outlined in the Strategic Intelligence Assessment.
