Behind on your annual filings? The Compliance Suite includes the preparation and filing of all outstanding annual corporate returns with the government registry, and the preparation of all missing annual minutes for every year the corporation has been in existence — not just the current year.
Each year's annual minutes record the decisions the law requires your corporation to make annually:

- Appointment of auditors, or waiver of the appointment of an auditor
We identify the gaps, prepare the documentation for each missing year, and file what is outstanding with the registry so your corporation is restored to good standing.
Government filing fees, and any late-filing penalties assessed by the registry, are payable in addition.

Is your corporation compliant with ISC reporting and obligations?
A corporation is legally required to keep an up-to-date ledger with the list of Individual’s with Significant Control (ISC), sometimes referred to as the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO). This is following the passing of transparency laws over the last number of years. Many corporations have not kept up to date and are not compliant.
Federal and Quebec corporations also have legal public disclosure obligations. Failure to comply can lead to fines of up to $200,000!
If you are unsure if your corporation is compliant, onboard your corporation with CorpCentre and we will make sure you are and stay compliant.
