Making a complaint

To make a complaint

Complete as many sections of our complaint form as you can.

• Provide as much detail as possible about the alleged offending.
• Supply copies of all relevant supporting documents. We can't take action until we receive all the supporting documents.
• The information you provide must be true and correct to the best of your knowledge and belief.
• Any information you provide may be disclosed to the person you've named so they can respond to the claim against them. 

Report a director

You can use our complaint form:

• if you believe a director has been involved in the mismanagement of a failed company,
• to report a director who has been convicted of a relevant offence under the Companies Act, or
• to report director or manager who is acting for a company while they're disqualified or prohibited.

Investigating your complaint

We won’t investigate every complaint received, but we will make further investigations if:

• the evidence is strong
• it’s in the public interest to do so
• it’s the best use of our resources.
