Confirmation statements
Review of company details and preparation of the annual confirmation statement, including required updates identified before filing.
Overview
One clear process for recurring filings and company record changes
Companies must keep statutory information accurate and submit recurring filings even when there has been little activity. Changes to directors, shareholders, registered details or business activities can also create additional forms and records.
CBM Accounting brings these obligations into a managed calendar. We maintain agreed company information, prepare filings, support current Companies House identity verification requirements where relevant and coordinate the records needed for HMRC compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients often ask
Every situation is different. These answers provide a practical starting point, and we confirm the position after reviewing the facts.
Ask our team a questionDoes a dormant company still need to file a confirmation statement?
Yes. Companies generally continue to have Companies House filing obligations while they remain registered, even when dormant or not trading. We confirm the specific filings for the company.
Can the confirmation statement update every company detail?
Some details can be confirmed or updated through the statement, while other changes must be filed separately before the statement is submitted. We review the register and sequence the forms correctly.
Can you help directors with Companies House identity verification?
We can explain the current process, identify the information required and coordinate the compliance workflow. The director or PSC may still need to complete personal verification steps directly.
Do you provide a registered office service?
This depends on the engagement and available service arrangements. Where offered, the scope, mail handling and eligibility requirements are confirmed separately.
Can you correct old Companies House records?
We can review discrepancies and prepare available corrective filings. Some matters may require legal documents, shareholder approvals or direct correspondence with Companies House.
