Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter has been warned her company could be struck off the government's business register.
Management consultancy Maytrix Group, of which Hannah Ingram-Moore is a director, failed to file its accounts by the May 31 deadline.
It is the seventh time in 11 years that the company has received such a warning, records show.
Maytrix has been notified that it could be forcibly closed and removed from the Companies House register after failing to meet the deadline.
Companies House has served the company with a first notice in the Gazette, which is a warning given at least three months in advance. If no action is taken, a second notice would announce the company's dissolution.
The company's directors may oppose the proposed dissolution within three months.
Previous official notices were issued to Maytrix in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2021 and 2022, Companies House records show.
In all cases, the compulsory strike was abandoned, usually after several days.
This time, the missing accounts refer to the year ending August 31, 2023.
Maytrix, based in Marston Moretaine, Bedford, had net assets of £170,333 at the end of August 2022, according to accounts for that year, down from £195,955 a year earlier.
Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin have been at the centre of a series of controversies since the death of her father, Captain Tom Moore, who was knighted for raising money for NHS charities.
In 2022, The Independent revealed that the Captain Tom Moore Foundation, set up following the war veteran's fundraising efforts, had paid £54,039 to two companies owned by Ms Ingram-Moore and her husband.
Maytrix also claimed up to £100,000 in furlough money from December 2020 to September 2021, and received almost £48,000 in Covid loans from the government.
Earlier this month, the Charity Commission banned the couple from being trustees of a charity following an investigation launched over concerns about the foundation's management and its independence from Sir Tom's family.
Last year, Ingram-Moore admitted receiving £18,000 for appearing at an awards ceremony, while her father's foundation received just £2,000.
The couple were also forced to demolish an unauthorised spa pool block at their home after losing an appeal against the order to remove the building.
