The information must be approved by a company director (or designated member of an LLP) before the large business publishes it. Suppliers using the information can raise any concerns about its accuracy with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who will investigate. It will be a criminal offence to publish a report or information that is misleading, false or deceptive.
