How to protect your limited company from fraudulence?
Company Identity Theft is a far more realistic problem as it leaves a company exposed to further fraud. Fraudsters are known to hijack and change certain important details of a company such as the director’s information or registered address. Identifying the potential threats and knowing how to deal with the risks can go a long way towards protecting a business. Below are a few steps to safeguard your company’s identity.
Safeguard your Company authentication code
A webfiling authentication code is a six-character alphanumeric code given by Companies House at the time of your company incorporation. It must be provided every time you try to make any online changes to your company’s information. It should be handled with utmost care and accessed only by trusted authorities as it acts as a Director’s electronic signature.
