I’m noticing that sometimes when receiving responses from the company profile endpoint ([https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/xxxxxxxx](https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/xxxxxxxx)) the ‘accounts.last\_accounts.type’ field is missing, why is this?

Any examples? Could be that:

- It’s a type of company which doesn’t have this field.
- It hasn’t filed accounts yet.

An example of the last is:  
[/company/11863251](https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11863251)

The returned object has:

```
{
    "date_of_creation":"2019-03-06",
    "accounts": {
        "last_accounts":{"type":"null"},
        ...

```

Here is the specific company:

> **[INNGOT LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House)](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06426697)**

The company most definitely has filed accounts.

Also, are companies required to notify you that they have had their accounts audited - regardless of the situation in which they had to be audited?

Well I’m not from Companies House so they wouldn’t… Thanks for the example - I’ve no idea why the “type” field is missing here, the filing history list looks there’s a type for the previous accounts filings.

Over to Companies House.
