Part 1: Companies House Reform Confirmation statements Section 59: Confirmation statements
This section restates and supplements the Companies Act 2006 provisions which prescribe a company’s duties to notify certain events and provide certain pieces of information in advance of, or at the same time as, delivery of its annual confirmation statement. It adds to existing requirements new duties arising from certain provisions in the Act, namely those annually to confirm the "lawful purpose" of the company and, in the case of a company’s first confirmation statement, relevant changes occurring in the period after it has submitted its application for incorporation but prior to its incorporation by the Registrar.
