Understanding Company Accounts: Getting the Most out of Companies House
Any UK-based investigative journalist or aspiring journalist should have a working knowledge of Companies House.
Companies House is the central registry for all UK registered limited or PLC companies and contains a wealth of useful information for those who know how to use the site. The aim of this class is to show you how to get the most information from the official website, as well as highlighting what information can’t be found there. The class will give ample time for questions and is an absolute must for anybody who does not yet feel confident in using this vital tool for investigators.
Jonathan Stoneman will briefly demonstrate two tools which will aid you in looking at who owns companies, and what the real ownership structure is.
