Company Secretarial
Company Law Compliance is now being strictly enforced by the CRO and ODCE. Compliance provisions are being continually added to and strengthened. Auditors are now obliged to formally report breaches of the Companies Acts to the ODCE.
Significant late filing penalties and the risk of strike off apply for failure to file timely annual returns. Restriction and disqualification proceedings are being regularly taken against company directors for serious breaches of the Companies Acts.
McCann & Associates can assist you, as Company Directors, in making you aware of your obligations. In particular, directors should note the rule that accounts must be 'signed, sealed and delivered' within 9 months of the period end in order to satisfy the AGM requirement & promptly meet the statutory Annual Return Date (‘ARD’).
