Company Administration - Annual Return and Review

Peace of Mind: Looking after your Company

What is the process?

• We act as your agent for all your company administration related matters, in the same way, that we deal with your tax matters with the Inland Revenue.
• All company annual return and any other Companies Office information will come to us, saving you time in administration.
• We will update all company registers.
• We will attend to annual minutes and resolutions.
• We will complete your annual company return.
• We will answer any questions you may have.
• We will review your company registers to ensure all is in order.

What value will I receive?

• You save the time and hassle that can be experienced when trying to complete your own company administration.
• Peace of mind knowing that your Director obligations in relation to records, registers and annual returns fully comply with the statutory requirements under the Companies Act 1993.
• No need to worry about changes to the legislation. We will have matters in hand and update you as required.

Why do I need this?

• It is easier to deal with us than the Companies Office!
• Your time can be better spent growing your own business or on lifestyle choices.
• All Directors need to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the Companies Act. As a Director, you owe it to yourself and the company to ensure that you fulfil your obligations under the Act.
• Penalties for non-compliance in record keeping under the Companies Act can be up to $10,000.
• We will ensure all annual minutes and resolutions are attended to and your annual company return is filed correctly and on time.
• You have access to the experience and support of our team who will have access to review your company information at any time.

Are you ticking all the boxes?

Q: The Companies Office has all my details. That is enough, isn’t it?

A: No. The Companies Act 1993 requires that a company must keep and maintain the following records:

• Company Records
• A Share Register
• Accounting Records
• Minutes and Resolutions
• A Register of Interests

Q: I do the annual company return online at little expense to myself. Why should I pay PKF Carr & Stanton to do this?

A: Filing a company annual return is only a small part of the full administration of a company. As outlined above a comprehensive register must be kept up to date recording details of any changes.

Q: What happens if I do not keep accurate and complete records for my company?

A: Failure to comply with the statutory requirements for record keeping is an offence and can result in fines of up to $10,000 each being imposed on both the company and each Director of that company.
