SW09230 | Organisations: Organisation Naming Convention

Consistent naming of an organisation is essential for the operation of the Shared Workspace service.

Each organisation is given a unique name and consists of up to two parts

1. the organisation name, and, where needed

2. sub-group name

All organisations must be named in accordance with the guidelines below.

Company

Use the name recorded in CTSA (this is supplied by Companies House).

For example: UK Business Ltd

Notes

1. When a Company has more than one registered address a geographical identifier must be shown as a suffix to the company name.

The suffix is entered in the organisation name field, not the sub-group field e.g.

Organisation name = UK Business Ltd (London)
Sub-group name = Pensions 2. Where an organisation is set up for a specific department, the sub-group field is used to record the department name, e.g.

Organisation name = UK Business Ltd
Subgroup name = Accounts

Partnership

The name used must be the one recorded by HMRC in Self Assessment.

Other Government Department

This must show the name of the Government Department.

The sub-group field is used to record the cross-government project, e.g.

Organisation name = HM Treasury
Sub-group name = Shared Workspace
