More Companies House data means better early-warning signals for compliance monitoring.

From April 2028, small companies and micro-entities will need to file profit and loss accounts with Companies House, although they will be able to opt out of having that P&L information published on the public register.

The reform is intended to improve Companies House data, transparency and oversight, while addressing smaller firms’ concerns about commercial sensitivity.

The change is part of wider Companies House reforms aimed at improving transparency, data quality and the fight against economic crime. All companies will also need to file accounts using commercial software, and abridged accounts will be removed.

At Watchdog Services, we maintain a database of around 57,000 FCA-regulated firms, alongside key Companies House statistics, and we keep an eye on changes that may point to emerging risk.

More structured financial data should, over time, make it easier to identify warning signs earlier — particularly where regulatory, financial and corporate data are monitored together.
