🔒 Adrem Accounting: Now a Fully Registered Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP)
We are delighted to announce a significant enhancement to our compliance and security capabilities: Adrem Accounting Ltd is now fully registered as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) with Companies House.
Why is This Important for You?
This registration is part of the UK Government’s initiative to tighten Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls and enhance identity verification across the corporate services sector.
In short, our ACSP status provides you with greater security and assurance.
As an officially authorised agent of Companies House, we are recognised for maintaining the highest standards of compliance, integrity, and anti-money laundering vigilance.
Our Commitment to Compliance
Adrem Accounting is not just an ACSP; we are also proudly supervised by the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), the largest accountancy professional body supervisor in the UK.
Our role as an ACSP involves important duties, ensuring a robust, risk-based approach to compliance:
-
Combating Financial Crime: We are committed to identifying and preventing illegal activities such as fraud, drugs trafficking, and modern slavery, which are funded by money laundering.
-
Enhanced Information: We must provide Companies House with information about our filings and identity checks upon request, proving we comply with all legal responsibilities.
-
Rigorous Record-Keeping: We are required to retain identity verification records for a period of seven years, ensuring a complete and auditable compliance trail.
By choosing Adrem Accounting, you choose a partner dedicated to protecting your business from the risks of financial crime through best-in-class procedures.

Comprehensive Company Secretarial Services
Beyond mandatory filings, our ACSP status allows us to efficiently manage a full spectrum of company secretarial work, all lodged directly with Companies House through our authorised account:
-
Capital restructuring

Share transfers and allotments

Sale and purchase agreements

Filing of all official company documentation
💡 Important Note on Other Agents
If you currently use, or are considering using, other agents for your Companies House filings, you should always confirm that they are properly registered as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. Unregistered agents may not meet the new mandatory compliance requirements.
🤝 Ready to Enhance Your Corporate Governance?
While general filings are included in your annual fee, complex company secretarial work (such as share transfers) will be quoted for separately and agreed upon with you in advance. Fees are payable upon completion of the work.
