Part 1: Companies House Reform Registrar’s functions and fees Section 92: Analysis of information for the purposes of crime prevention or detection
This section inserts section 1062A into the Companies Act 2006. This introduces a new function for the Registrar whereby the Registrar may carry out analysis of information for the purposes of crime prevention or detection. This includes information that is on the register, and other information available to the Registrar, including that obtained from external sources.
	Subsection (1) provides that the Registrar would only be expected to carry out this analysis where the Registrar considers it appropriate. This would include taking account of the resources available to the Registrar alongside other factors such as risk and threat assessments.
	The section will work alongside other sections in the Act, such as section 94, which, amongst other matters, permits the Registrar to share data for the purposes of the Registrar’s functions and contains the section 1110F that has been referred to in subsection (2) of this section. This means that the Registrar will be able to proactively share data so that it can be analysed, either by herself or the bodies that the Registrar shares with, for the purposes of crime prevention or detection.
