Record the company authentication code

For clients who are limited companies, you can enter their electronic filing authentication code so that you don't need to enter it each time you file to Companies House on their behalf.

  1. From the Clients menu, select Clients list.
  2. Change the client list view to either Active clients or a custom view that includes all relevant clients.

    3. If any of the entries are greyed out and you cannot select them, this is a restricted item — the parent client record has been set to Private and you do not have access. If you believe this is a mistake, contact your IRIS Elements administrator. Users who have Administrator level permissions are able to view all public and private client records, even those where they are not named as assigned users.

  3. Go to the Information then Companies House tab.
  4. Enter the 6 alphanumeric Company authentication code.
  5. Select Save.
