Part 1: Companies House Reform The registrar of companies Section 1: The registrar’s objectives
Section 1 inserts into the Companies Act 2006 a new provision, section 1081A, obliging the Registrar, in performing her functions, to seek to promote four objectives.
	Objective 1 is to ensure that those required to deliver documents to the Registrar do so, and that the requirements relating to proper delivery are complied with.
	Objective 2 is to ensure that all information held by the Registrar in registers she is required to maintain under any enactment is accurate and the registers contain everything they ought to contain. In contrast to Objective 1, which concerns cases where there are legal obligations to deliver documents, Objective 2 additionally concerns cases where filings are permitted rather than obliged (for example, under section 87 of the Companies Act 2006 which allows a company to file a notice with the Registrar concerning a move to a different registered office address).
	Objective 3 is to ensure that information kept by the Registrar does not create a false or misleading impression to members of the public.
	Objective 4 is to prevent companies and others from (a) carrying out unlawful activities; or (b) facilitating the carrying out by others of unlawful activities.
	The intention of these objectives is that the Registrar should seek to maintain the integrity of the registers she curates in relation to companies and other registrable entities, by seeking to promote the objectives when exercising the Registrar’s functions.
