When you e-mail your Company Bank Account statements to your accountant do you block

When you e-mail your Company Bank Account statements to your accountant do you block out the account number and sort code or do you leave them fully showing ???? - this is for corporation tax btw.

Presumably my accountant receives a copy of company bank statement (monthly?) - I remember I had to sign on some declaration form. Good question though, got me thinking!

What do you think they will do with the account number and sort code? They aren't exactly a secret - loads of companies give them out. Don't worry about it.

Do you blank them out on the cheques you pay him with?

I assume the question is more about leaving the data on an email that might be intercepted, rather than what the accountant might do with the information.

I take my statements to the accountant at the end of the year with the receipts and other paperwork. If I emailed them, I wouldn't hide the information though.

What about emailing invoices? Do you blank out the info then so the client can't pay you by bank transfer?

haha. Maybe you should avoid showing accountant your signature too!

Just use Thunderbird and PGP (Enigmail), works a treat.

For my co's year end accounts, I hand deliver everything and get a receipt.

I posted mine and chased a few days later to ensure it had arrived.
