Twenty-three company directors were disqualified for persistent or serious non-compliance with filing requirements between January and June 2026. The disqualifications totaled 70 years, with individual penalties ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Courts also imposed fines of £17,810, including £15,600 for account non-filing and £2,200 for confirmation statement failures. Companies House prosecuted 360 directors for filing offences in the first three months of 2026, resulting in £129,970 in account-related fines and £53,300 for confirmation statement offences. Enforcement actions align with Companies House’s compliance framework, which prioritizes proportionality and risk-based approaches. Directors face criminal prosecution for failing to file annual accounts, with penalties applied to companies rather than individuals. Disqualifications are issued by courts, regulatory bodies, and government agencies under the Companies Act 2006.
