Published Companies Act Inspection Reports


Inspection reports

Whilst the vast majority of enquiries conducted by Company Investigations, and its predecessor Companies Investigation Branch (CIB), are confidential enquiries under Section 447 of the Companies Act 1985, over the years the Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills has appointed inspectors under other sections of the Act (or earlier legislation) that allow for the publication of a report.

Inspections are normally carried out where the company involved is a major plc and the matters subject to enquiry are of significant public interest.  A link to a complete chronological list of published reports can be found below. Some of the most recent are available to view online. Where there is no PDF link then an electronic copy of the document is not available; however the report may be viewed at the British Library.
