I didn't read the document and didn't know from whence it came. If they had sent the document to you and you put it on here then you might have been in contravention of the Data Protection Act.
The Data Protection Act applies to personal data. The Act defines that as data relating to a living individual. Corporate accounts are the accounts of a company. A company is not a living individual, so its accounts cannot be personal data, and so would not be subject to the Data Protection Act.
Unless for some bizarre and inexplicable reason someone had decided to fill the company accounts with personal information about directors or shareholders, but they would still be a document of public record and hence not subject to the Act.
