Corporate Compliance

Annual Statutory Compliance

O'Boyle & Co. ensures that clients adhere effectively to annual statutory compliance requirements. Following the introduction of the Company Law Enforcement Act 2001, the timeframe for filing annual returns and accounts has been greatly reduced. Penalties and prosecutions for non-compliance are now in force.

Annual returns and accounts which are not filed within the prescribed time limits are subject to an automatic filing penalty of €100 on the first late day and an additional €3 accrues for each additional late day. For example, an annual return which is made up to 30th June, 2000 will incur a late filing penalty of €289 in addition to the usual €30 filing fee it if is not filed until 30th September, 2002. The maximum penalty per late annual return is €1,200. However, the directors and the company also may be prosecuted.

O'Boyle & Co. corporate compliance department operates a reminder system whereby we notify our clients in good time as their due filing dates approach. Our annual statutory compliance package includes preparation of the annual return and AGM documentation to receive the accounts.

General Compliance

Our corporation compliance unit deals with the preparation of documentation to effect changes in company structure including:

Every company is required to maintain company registers and statutory minute book. The registers must be updated regularly - for instance each time a share is allotted or transferred or a director or secretary is appointed or resigns.
