Practical answers
Questions about this service
How quickly must officer changes be filed?
ACRA states that appointment or withdrawal of position holders must be updated through Bizfile within 14 days of the change.
Should the old secretary resign before the new one is ready?
Coordinate the sequence carefully so the company maintains the required office and preserves access to records and pending work.
What if records are incomplete?
The missing items should be listed and risk-assessed. Remediation is separate work and should not be represented as complete until supporting evidence exists.
