Annual resolutions in lieu of AGM

Most private companies never hold a physical AGM — the annual accounts are approved and adopted by written resolutions instead. Generate the full annual pack, ready to sign, free.

What’s in the pack

Two documents in one Word file: (1) board written resolutions approving the audited financial statements and directors’ report and authorising a director to sign them; and (2) members’ written resolutions in lieu of an annual general meeting — adopting the financial statements and re-appointing the auditor for the coming year.

For a private company the financial statements must be circulated to members within 9 months after the financial year end. Written resolutions replace the physical AGM for most small companies.

The annual compliance clock

  1. Within 9 months of the financial year end — audited financial statements circulated to members and adopted (this pack).
  2. Within 42 days of your incorporation anniversary — Form NAR1 (Annual Return) filed with the Companies Registry.
  3. Profits Tax Return — filed with the IRD together with the audited accounts when called.

Miss a deadline and the late-filing fees escalate quickly. Our company secretary service tracks all three clocks for you, and our accounting team prepares the accounts and audit behind this pack.
