Is Your Firm Ready for ECCTA? How to Stay Organised and Compliant Ahead of November’s ID Verification Deadline

From 18 November 2025, Companies House will introduce one of the most significant compliance changes in its history.
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA), all directors, LLP members, and persons of significant control (PSCs) must complete identity verification — a reform aimed at improving transparency and reducing financial crime.

While this change represents a vital step forward for business integrity, it also introduces a major new layer of admin and risk for accountants and company secretaries who manage company records and submissions.

Without the right systems in place, organising ID checks, tracking CS01 deadlines, and managing verification updates could quickly become an overwhelming task.

That’s where Capium’s latest tools come in.

ECCTA: A New Era of Compliance, and Complexity

ECCTA will require every company on the register to verify the identity of all directors and PSCs. That means, in practice, firms will now need to:

• Keep up-to-date records of which clients and individuals have completed ID verification.

• Monitor deadlines for CS01 filings and associated verification tasks.

• Maintain reliable audit trails for UIDs and personal verification codes.

For many firms, this level of manual tracking is time-consuming and prone to error — especially without dedicated software support.

Introducing Capium’s New ECCTA Organisational Suite

Capium’s new organisational tools are designed to help accountants and company secretaries take control of the ECCTA process.
While Capium does not perform ID verification itself, these features make it simple to plan, monitor, and manage every step of the process — ensuring your firm stays compliant with ease.

Here’s what’s included:

• Smart tables and filters to track all directors, PSCs, and LLP members due for ID verification.

• Automated reminders via email and action stations to keep teams and clients on track.

• Built-in checklists to record verification progress and retrieve UIDs or personal codes.

• Deadline tracking for CS01 filings and ID requirements, all visible at a glance.

In short, Capium helps you get — and stay — ECCTA-ready, with full oversight of your client portfolio and confidence that no deadlines will slip through the cracks.
