Appointment date later than resignation date

11 appointments at KPMG LLP (OC301540) have an appointment date which is later than the resignation date. All of them “resigned” on 16-Aug-2002. For example:

ANDERSON, Jeremy David Bruce was appointed on 12-Oct-2004 and resigned on 16-Aug-2002:

His record also shows that he was appointed on 12-Oct-2004 and resigned on 31-Dec-2017. That is probably correct. The other 10 with negative service periods also each have a sensible appointment period. They are:

Bishop, Paul
Clinton, Andrew Frank
Downey, Alan Giles
Fellowes, Andrew Douglas
Graham, Craig Andrew
Kelly, John Howard
Kirby Johnson, Oliver
Munce, Steven
Reader, Gary John Charles
Thomas, Matthew Qentin

Please delete the erroneous appointments.

Secondly, I request that Companies House does a bulk search for any appointment where the resignation date is earlier than the appointment date and reviews/removes them, since this is logically impossible. The system should also prohibit new entries of such data.

Thank you for raising this issue. We are investigating and will update you with any progress.
