Once a company is incorporated, it takes on ongoing compliance obligations. Keeping track of these helps avoid penalties and keeps the company in good standing.
Common categories of compliance
- Corporate filings with the registrar of companies
- Tax filings and returns as applicable
- Maintenance of statutory registers and records
- Board and shareholder meeting requirements
- Sector-specific licences or registrations, where relevant
Building a compliance rhythm
Many obligations recur on a periodic basis. Mapping them onto a calendar at the start of the year helps a company plan ahead rather than reacting to deadlines.
When obligations change
As a company grows, takes on investment, or expands into new activities, its compliance obligations may change. Reviewing these periodically helps keep the company aligned with current requirements.
