Thank you for elaborating. I understand better where you are coming from now. You're right it's possible that a client fails to inform me of a share transfer and also fails to flag it in the confirmation statement data I send them. In that eventuality I can sleep easy. I think it's the wording of the statement that bothers me. On a VAT return there's a similar "I confirm" in ones own name, but it ends "to the best of my knowledge and belief" which is a lot more palatable. But clearly others aren't worried so that gives me comfort and I shall stop worrying myself.
Re your original reply - perhaps it was not your intention but it came across as very accusatory. I think I asked a legitimate question and I'd like to think this is a friendly forum on which to do so, as it usually is, without being patronised.
He outright accused me of not doing my job properly, based purely on his own entirely incorrect inferences. His comment had nothing to do with my post. You're right I don't get to decide who replies or what they say, but what possible value is there in throwing baseless accusations at me?
I guess the third option would have been, if lots of people were concerned about it, putting pressure on CH to amend the wording, perhaps to include "to the best of my knowledge". Or perhaps forcing directors themselves to make the declaration, as they do for some other forms E. G. a DS01.
If you can't or don't want to be helpful, please can you refrain from commenting? You are making outrageous assumptions about what I do or don't do, with no justification whatsoever. If you can't see the distinction between matters of demonstrable fact like who a company's shareholders are, and something abstract like another person's intentions, perhaps you'd be better suited to a simpler career.
Thank you. Yes, I get what you're saying. I'd prefer it if the statement referenced reasonable doubt, or "to the best of my knowledge". The way it's phrased is very black and white when I think by definition it's impossible to be absolutely certain of someone else's intentions.
I intend to wash my car tomorrow too. But I may or may not be telling the truth. I'm sure you're happy to sign a statement about your intentions for tomorrow, but are you happy to sign one about mine?

Interesting thought, but the storage element is only maybe 10% of the costs.
Thanks for taking an interest.

Thanks. That post definitely didn't come up in my searches!
Operating legally at present, sure. It's the future intentions of another person that are above my paygrade to opine on.
