A person with significant control (PSC) is someone who owns or controls a company. If firms identify a discrepancy between the information they gather while carrying out their regulatory obligations on their corporate clients and the information their client has provided on the PSC register, they must report that discrepancy to Companies House or HMRC. We find that firms do not have the required policies and procedures in place to record and report any identified discrepancies.
