Do you understand your obligations under SECR? It is subject to the same compliance rules as financial reporting for Companies House. Therefore reporting energy use will attract the same penalties as late financial filing and if energy was unreported or misreported through SECR, a named director or the organisation may be taken to court and could face an unlimited fine. SECR applies to reports for financial year starting on or after 1 April 2019. Are you ready? Download our factsheet for more information.
