We attend to your statutory corporate compliance needs with ASIC, Fair Trading, and the Office of State Revenue, ensuring your obligations are met accurately and on time.

We act as registered agents for a range of corporate clients, managing ongoing ASIC correspondence, annual statement reviews, and lodgement deadlines so these requirements don't fall through the cracks. We track relevant due dates and alert you well in advance of any lodgement obligation.

When a restructure, acquisition, or change in company composition triggers ASIC filing requirements, we work alongside your legal advisors to ensure the corporate secretarial side is handled accurately and to the correct timelines.

Common Questions

Corporate Secretarial — FAQ

What ASIC obligations can McCarthy Salkeld manage for us?

We attend to the full range of statutory corporate compliance needs with ASIC, including annual company statement reviews, changes to officer details, share register maintenance, and lodgement of required forms. We track lodgement deadlines so you don't face late fees or compliance notices.

Can you act as our registered agent with ASIC?

Yes. We can act as your registered agent, providing a consistent and reliable point of contact for ASIC correspondence. This is particularly useful for companies that do not have dedicated administrative resources to manage ongoing compliance requirements.

What changes to a company require ASIC notification?

Common changes requiring ASIC notification include changes to registered address, changes to directors or secretaries, share allotments or transfers, and changes to a company's constitution. We monitor these requirements and manage lodgements on your behalf to ensure nothing is missed.

Do you handle Fair Trading registration and renewal?

Yes. We assist with registration and compliance requirements under Fair Trading, as well as relevant state revenue obligations. Requirements vary by entity type and industry, and we ensure the correct forms are lodged correctly and on time.

How does a corporate secretarial review work?

A corporate secretarial review involves examining your company's ASIC register, minute books, share register and compliance history to identify any gaps, overdue lodgements, or other issues that should be resolved. This is particularly useful for companies that have changed hands, grown through acquisition, or have not had formal compliance oversight in place.

Can you help with restructures that require ASIC filings?

Yes. Business restructures — including changes to shareholding, director appointments or resignations, and entity mergers — typically trigger multiple ASIC filing obligations. We work alongside your legal advisors to ensure the corporate secretarial side of any restructure is handled accurately and to the correct timelines.
