This is my final effort post in summary of the UK accounts situation.

Under UK law (Companies Act 2006) all UK registered companies must file a number of documents with the agency known as Companies House. These documents are all public records.

A company must file a set of their accounts within nine months of their registered financial year end (or if it is their first set of accounts, they have 21 months from incorporation).

Failure to file documents is considered a strict liability. Eg: Were the accounts filed? Yes/No. If the answer is no, the company itself is fined.

Failure to deliver documents is a criminal offence. All the directors of the company risk prosecution. On conviction, a director could end up with a criminal record and a potentially unlimited fine for each offence. This is separate from the civil penalty imposed on the company for late filing of accounts.

Prosecution of directors and the timeline can vary massively and there is no definitive answer to the questions you may have. When Companies House take steps to initiate criminal proceedings against a director, most will make it a priority to avoid criminal proceedings. Repeat offenders will likely receive less leeway and shortened timelines.

You can read about chef Gordon Ramsay's close encounters with criminal prosecution for failing to file accounts here.

You can check for yourself by following the links but presently Foundry 42 Limited, Roberts Space Industries International Limited, and Cloud Imperium Games UK Limited are all in breach of the law for failing to file their accounts on time. Once they have filed their accounts, you will be able to view them yourself at the links.

As directors of each of these companies, Christopher Roberts, Erin David Roberts, and Ortwin Freyermuth are therefore breaking UK law and running the risk of criminal proceedings.

Clearly, these "ex-employees" have been hired by DS to act like ex-employees of CIG, trying to cause a fallout in the SC community or maybe even try and get current staff to question their place or something. The whole thing just wreaks of DS and I think the Escapist will end up with a very bad rap when all is said and done.

(Not sure if serious. If you are...)

The Escapist has proven the Washington Post of SpergGate, but Derek Smart was not their "Deep Throat". It was current and former CIG employees who felt like this story had to be told and reached out to Escapist, since they weren't just drinking the Star Citizen Koolaid. Escapist deserves whatever the nerd equivalent is of a Pulitzer. A Webby or some crap like that.

The more likely outcome is that Establishment Journalists-- who have largely been asleep at the wheel-- are going to smell blood in the water after the Escapist's first bite and we're going to see a swarm of stories. (Kotaku already cried foul for the "irresponsible journalism"-- no doubt they are jealous that they didn't get to strike first. They've been sitting on a lot of dirt themselves, biding their time, ignoring the warnings. Sod them for missing their moment.)

If we really are witnessing the death throes of the biggest crowdfunding campaign in history, and the allegations of fraud, financial misappropriation, nepotism, racism, ageism, death-by-scope-creep, and all the rest ultimately prove true, then the media swarm will pick every piece of meat off the bone. How CIG survives that, I have no idea. That they seem not to deserve to, I relish.

So I say mad props to Escapist, for giving voice to whistleblowers warning of calamity, and for their generous contributions to the entertainment value of this thread.

Not really. You may get an extension if your books and records are lost to a natural disaster but the company would probably still have to pay the fine. In some cases where the company is dormant you may also be able to avoid fines by stating that the company has no assets and no liabilities and no longer exists so that it is struck off the register.

What is likely is that the accounts are with the accountant and being worked on. My company tax filing was way overdue one year but the all the accounts had been with the accountant for months. Given that the last filing was in December 2014 it's likely they'll probably be completed around the same time this year.

Of course what no one has considered is that this won't stop when the money runs out. Instead Chris Roberts will keep selling internet spaceships and borrow money to keep the company afloat.

What is likely is that the accounts are with the accountant and being worked on. My company tax filing was way overdue one year but the all the accounts had been with the accountant for months. Given that the last filing was in December 2014 it's likely they'll probably be completed around the same time this year.

Not sure what you mean. None of the companies have ever filed a set of accounts so there is no way to guess how late they might be. The ones that are overdue concern the period ending 31 December 2014.

If you are providing your books and records in a timely manner to your accountant and you are missing the filing deadline you might want to think about finding a new accountant.
