Purpose of the list

There are two versions of the Case Records Changes List.

  • Function CRCL is the update version.
  • Function CRCV is the view only version.

The purpose of this work list is to show you a list of:

  • companies that have received an amendment to their designatory data from Companies House and require some manual intervention
  • unincorporated associations that have received an automatic change to their name and / or address.

How often should the list be reviewed?

Local management should ensure that the work list is reviewed on a regular basis.

Who does what?

A Clerical Caseworker normally reviews and controls the list.

When are new entries added?

COTAX adds new entries to this work list daily.
