  • Accounts from financial year April 2017

Mike Ashley’s Mash Holdings, the company behind Sports Direct, is facing potential fines due to late account filings that are now six months past their expected submission date. The accounts were initially expected on July 23, 2018 and have yet to be submitted, according to BBC news. Companies House may fine Mash Holdings £1,500 for the delay. Late filings within one to three months incur a £375 penalty, while those between one to three months cost £750. Accounts overdue by six months or more face a £1,500 fine. A Companies House spokesperson told BBC: ‘Every company must file their accounts annually; if they fail to do so, we have an active pursuit process to secure the filing of overdue documents, aiming to bring records up to date.’ The accounts in question are from the financial year ending April 2017, prior to Ashley’s acquisitions of Evans Cycles and House of Fraser. Sports Direct has been contacted for comment.
