Company Secretarial

Company Law in Ireland imposes a wide range of duties on every company, such as filing annual returns, circulating accounts and maintaining statutory registers, all of which can prove onerous and time-consuming. Our expertise in this area is proven helping your firm comply with your statutory obligations imposed under the Companies Acts cost effectively.

Failure to perform these duties can lead to criminal and heavy financial penalties.

A key obligation is the filing of the Annual Return with the CRO. This is deadline driven, and we can monitor your Annual Return Date (ARD) with the CRO so that you are informed in advance of your upcoming reporting requirements.
