Corporate compliance

Recurring work and business events

An annual calendar addresses the reporting cycle. Changes to directors, ownership, capital, office or financing need a separate event checklist. Start with the decision and work backwards through its prerequisites.

Records that make the filing useful

An acknowledgement records a submission; it does not replace the underlying authority or evidence. We organise resolutions, registers, working papers and filing records into a coherent handover.

• Confirm the entity class and relevant financial period.
• Reconcile current records with the public registry and prior filings.
• Identify signing, certification and independent professional responsibilities.

Choose the work from the event or reporting cycle

• Annual reporting: use company annual compliance or LLP annual compliance, according to the entity.
• Decisions and records: connect board and shareholder governance with registers and minutes. Secretarial audit coordination organises evidence for an independently conducted audit.
• People or premises: start with director and KMP changes or registered-office changes.
• Ownership and capital: distinguish allotments and transfers, capital restructuring, beneficial ownership and dematerialisation.
• Specific transaction or reporting questions: explore related-party transactions, deposits and charges or CSR compliance.
• An inactive company: the dormant-company and strike-off service begins with the actual assets, liabilities and intended outcome.

Use one event record across connected work

A funding round may involve a corporate decision, an allotment, updated ownership records and later annual reporting. Maintain one dated event record with links to the agreed terms, actual decisions, payments and submissions. Each service can then work from the same facts while tracking its own completion evidence.

For a handover, identify the covered entity and period, documents available, unresolved differences and the owner of each next action. Keep drafts, signed records and authority outcomes distinguishable. The written scope should identify the work included, the professional responsibilities and any historical remediation that needs separate attention.
