Q9 - PSC Discrepancy

When completing customer due diligence (CDD) on a UK entity as a corporate customer, information to be obtained includes that which relates to an entity's beneficial ownership and control.

CDD may involve checking the details of persons registered with Companies House as persons of significant control (PSC) (i.e., per PSC register). If a material discrepancy is identified between information collected for CDD purposes and that recorded by U.K. Companies House, an obliged entity must submit a report to Companies House.

  1. Any bank, asset/fund manager, life/general insurance company, or money service business.
  2. Any company or individual engaged in due diligence research as part of pre- or post-acquisition M&A activity.
