Intercompany record redaction is the removal of personal data from a related-party file held as internal-control evidence. The Companies Act 2006 and the FRC frame the group's duty over accurate consolidated records. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the elimination entries stay while named contacts go.
When this applies
An intercompany file names signatories at each subsidiary, their emails, and settlement accounts. You strip those before a consolidation reviewer opens it.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the related-party file in anonym.plus on your device.
- It scans signatory names, contacts, and account fields.
- The app marks emails and settlement accounts.
- Keep company codes and elimination entries intact.
- Replace or mask the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean workbook locally.
What you need to provide
- The related-party file (XLSX, CSV, PDF).
- An operator (Replace keeps the entries readable).
- Optional allow-list for company and elimination codes.

Limitations & cautions
A company code is not personal, but a small subsidiary plus a role can hint at one signatory. The app marks named items, not every indirect clue. Review small-unit rows before you share.
