Action
The JFSC encourages boards, senior management, and owner-operators to consider these points and make any adjustments they feel are appropriate.
Findings identified
OVERVIEW
- Of the 1,092 inspections, six entities did not provide statutory registers for review. Five were non-trust company business (TCB) companies that failed to provide registers of directors, secretaries, and members
- One TCSP-controlled company did not provide its register of secretaries. At the time of inspection, these companies could not show they had kept their statutory records up to date.
- After further review, we were able to confirm the relevant data held on the central register in all cases. Additionally, three entities had inaccurate Registered Office information, and one entity had appointed an inappropriate nominated person.
THE MOST COMMON FINDINGS THIS QUARTER WERE:
- Errors in how joint share ownership was recorded
- Old or incorrect information held in statutory registers
- Changes involving directors or other significant persons not being sent to the JFSC
- Missing information about the people who control a corporate trustee that is not regulated
- Statutory registers not being available at the time of inspection
- Registered office details not reflecting the current position
- Updates not being submitted within the 21-day requirement
ACTIONS FOR YOU TO TAKE
To help reduce these issues, you may wish to:
- Send updates within 21 days when any associated party’s details change
- Submit a separate filing for each company if a beneficial owner, significant person or member is linked to multiple entities
- The myParties feature in myRegistry can help keep information consistent and reduce duplication
- Record joint ownership correctly by listing only the first-named person as the member and adding any others in the joint ownership field
- If joint owners are also beneficial owners or controllers, add each person separately
LOOKING AHEAD
- This year, the JFSC will move to annual reporting, replacing our quarterly reports.
