Company secretarial
Company Records and Statutory Books Checklist
About this document
The Companies Act 2006 requires every company to keep certain registers and records (often called the “statutory books”) and to make some of them available for inspection. This checklist lets you audit your company’s records, spot gaps, and record where each record is kept and how long it must be retained.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
