It’s important to check that company information is updated and correct before preparing the Annual Return Documents and filing the Annual Return from CAS 360 to ACRA.
|
From the Main Toolbar, go to Company |
|
|
Select the Company from the list |
Go through the information for each tab and ensure that they are correct and up-to-date before the Annual Return filing.
Check and confirm Company Dates & Company Status in the General Details tab.
Company Dates
For registered companies that have existing records with ACRA, ensure that the following information is accurately recorded in the Company Dates fields:
- Incorporation Date
- Annual Return Due Date (it has to be based in the current calendar year)
- Financial Year-End Date
- Annual Return Last Filed
For newly incorporated companies, it is not required to indicate the Annual Return Last Filed. This will only be applicable in the second year of filing.
You are also able to use CAS 360 to calculate the next AGM Date and the Annual Return Due Date.
Company Status
The Company Status will determine the Annual Return Data Questionnaire and the type of Annual Return text paragraphs that will appear in your Annual Return documents. It is important to update if there are any changes in the company status, type, class, and subclass.
When preparing the Annual Return, the data questionnaire will appear based on the Company Status information given.
To ensure the correct address appears in the Annual Return as the location of the Registers for Registrable Controllers and Nominee Directors, users must configure the Registered Filing Agent (RFA) in CAS 360.
This step must be completed before preparing the Annual Return for the company.
Step 1: Set Up the Registered Filing Agent
Go to Settings > Lodgement and complete the Registered Filing Agent setup.
See Setting up a Registered Filing Agent
Step 2: Assign the RFA to the Company
In the company’s General Details, assign the Registered Filing Agent to the relevant company.
| From the Main Toolbar, go to Company | |
| Select the Company from the list | |
| Select General Details |
Under Registered Filing Agent select your agent details.
Once assigned, CAS 360 will automatically display a default declaration of the RFA’s address in the Annual Return documents as the location of the registers.
If your company is required to maintain a Register of Registrable Controllers, toggle on Required to maintain Registrable Controllers Register in the Shareholders tab.
Record an Auditor from within the Relationships tab of your selected company.
