Part 3 – Register of Overseas Entities Inspection of the register and protection of information Section 169: Resolving inconsistencies on the register
This section amends section 27 of the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022. It expands the circumstances in which the Registrar can issue a notice to an overseas entity requiring them to resolve an inconsistency. Currently, section 27 allows the Registrar to issue a notice to resolve an inconsistency where information in a document delivered to them was inconsistent with other information held on the register of overseas entities.
	The Registrar can now consider, when determining whether to issue such a notice, all information in their possession.
	A notice issued by the Registrar will state how the information appears to be inconsistent with other information held in records kept by the Registrar under section 1080 of the Companies Act 2006, and require the overseas entity to respond within 14 days by taking reasonable steps to resolve the inconsistency by delivering replacement or additional documents (or in any other way).
	The notice issued by the Registrar must state the date on which it was issued.
