Companies Act 2006 Compliance

Running a company involves navigating your way through the Companies Act 2006, the longest Act of Parliament ever introduced in British legal history with over 1,300 sections and 16 schedules spread across nearly 700 pages, and a multitude of other legislation which applies to limited companies and their directors.

In particular, the Companies Act 2006 imposes duties on all those who act as directors of limited companies which complement the historic common law and equitable duties imposed on directors.

Breaching these duties, or beaching any other legislation relating to directors or their companies, can have serious consequences for directors with punishments including fines and criminal prosecutions.
