<p>The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill, currently passing through Parliament,
includes measures to reform the role of Companies House and improve transparency over
UK companies, to strengthen our business environment and support our national security
and combat economic crime, whilst delivering a more reliable companies register to
underpin business activity.</p><p>The Bill will make it much easier to identify and
clamp down on fraudulent companies, by giving Companies House new powers to check,
challenge, and decline any dubious information on the Register, and by introducing
identity verification for new and existing directors, beneficial owners and those
who file information with Companies House.</p>
