ASIC Compliance Services Australia Corporate Records & Filings

Running a company involves ongoing ASIC obligations as well as tax and accounting responsibilities. ASIC compliance services help company directors keep corporate records current, respond to annual review requirements, lodge company changes and manage routine ASIC correspondence without treating company administration as an afterthought.

Financially Up supports Australian companies with practical ASIC company compliance services alongside accounting and tax work. The scope can include reviewing annual statements, coordinating company changes, assisting with common ASIC lodgements and maintaining a clearer link between the company register and the records used for accounting and tax compliance.

If you need help bringing ASIC records up to date or managing ongoing company administration, an initial discussion can identify the outstanding items, relevant deadlines and the appropriate service scope. Book an Appointment

What do ASIC compliance services cover?

ASIC compliance work focuses on the company information and corporate filings that must be kept current with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. It is different from preparing a company tax return. A company can be tax-compliant while still having overdue corporate changes, and the reverse can also occur.

Depending on the company and the work requested, support may include:

Annual Statements

reviewing ASIC annual statements and checking the registered details

Registered Office

assisting with changes to registered office or principal place of business

Officeholders

lodging changes involving directors or secretaries where the required company decisions and consents are in place

Share Register

updating certain share, member or ultimate holding company information

Correspondence

helping manage ASIC correspondence and common filing requirements

Accounting Link

coordinating with the company’s accounting records where a corporate change also affects tax, payroll, bookkeeping or financial reporting.

Registered Agent Representation

For companies that want an ongoing point of contact for ASIC administration, Financially Up can also assist with an ASIC registered agent service. Company directors remain responsible for their legal duties even where an agent or accountant assists with administration.

Annual company reviews and keeping ASIC details current

ASIC generally issues an annual statement soon after a company’s annual review date. The company needs to check the details, pay the annual review fee by the due date and address the solvency-resolution requirements. Directors generally must pass a solvency resolution within two months of the review date unless the company lodged the relevant financial report with ASIC during the previous 12 months. Directors should not wait until the annual review to update information that has already changed.

Annual Review Cycle

Annual Statements & Solvency Resolutions

2-Month Rule
Annual statement issued soon after company review date
Check registered company details and pay annual review fee by due date
Pass solvency resolution within 2 months of review date
Do not delay updating details that have already changed
Directors generally must pass a solvency resolution within two months unless exempt.
Statutory Deadlines

The 28-Day Change Notification Rule

28-Day Limit

ASIC states that most company-detail changes must be notified within 28 days. Late lodgement fees can apply when relevant changes are reported outside the required period. That makes regular corporate record maintenance important, particularly for growing businesses where addresses, officeholders or ownership details can change during the year.

Late lodgement fees escalate automatically if changes to addresses, officeholders, or share structures are lodged outside the statutory 28-day window.
Regular corporate maintenance avoids unnecessary late penalties and administrative backlogs.
Corporate Secretarial Reassurance

Never Miss an ASIC Annual Review Deadline

Appointing Financially Up as your ASIC registered agent means annual statements are delivered directly to our registered agent portal, checked against your financial records, and sent to you with documented solvency minutes ready for signature.

ASIC lodgements and company changes

Many routine company updates are made through ASIC’s online services, including changes commonly associated with Form 484. Examples include changes to addresses, officeholders and certain share or member details. The exact filing depends on the event; not every corporate change is a Form 484 matter.

Company Addresses

Changes to registered office or principal place of business addresses.

Officeholders

Appointment or cessation of company directors and company secretaries.

Share & Member Details

Certain updates to share structure, member registers and holding info.

Company Changes Service Scope

If your company needs to update information, our company changes service focuses specifically on reviewing the change, identifying the relevant ASIC update and helping ensure the filing reflects the company’s underlying records.

When should a company seek help with ASIC compliance?

ASIC compliance support is useful when directors want ongoing administration handled consistently or when a company has a specific event to record. Common situations include a director joining or leaving, an office address changing, shares being issued or transferred, an annual statement showing outdated information, or several overdue company changes needing to be reconciled.

Officeholders

Director Joining or Leaving

A director appointment, resignation, or vacation of office requiring statutory notifications.

Addresses

Office Address Changing

Changes to registered office address or principal place of business location.

Shares

Shares Issued or Transferred

Equity allotments, member transfers, or updates to company share structures.

Annual Review

Outdated Annual Statement

An annual review statement showing historical or incorrect corporate information.

Backlog Catch-Up

Overdue Company Changes

Several overdue company changes needing to be reconciled and brought up to date.

Ongoing Peace of Mind

Ongoing Administration

Directors seeking consistent corporate secretarial and annual statement tracking managed professionally.

Company Lifecycle Context

It can also be useful after a new company has been established. If you are still at the setup stage, our company registration service is the more relevant starting point. This page deals with the ongoing company compliance that follows registration.

ASIC compliance, tax and accounting are connected but different

An ASIC filing records corporate information; it does not automatically determine the tax treatment of the underlying transaction. For example, a share issue, share transfer, director change or restructure may have accounting, tax, commercial or legal consequences beyond the ASIC notification itself.

Corporate Information

ASIC Corporate Filing

Public Register
Records company officeholders, registered addresses, and share capital
Maintains statutory alignment under the Corporations Act 2001
Does not automatically resolve tax or accounting implications of the transaction
Role: Recording and updating corporate registry information with ASIC.
Tax & Commercial Impact

Tax & Accounting Treatment

ATO & Financial Records
Determines Capital Gains Tax (CGT), stamp duty, and taxable income treatment
Adjusts general ledger, dividend franking accounts, and financial statements
Evaluates Division 7A shareholder loans, commercial terms, and payroll impact
Role: Managing financial reporting, ATO obligations, and tax outcomes.
Tax Scope & Legal Boundary

Where a transaction has wider tax implications, the work may need to be separately scoped through our business tax compliance service or another relevant tax service. Legal documents, shareholder agreements or questions about legal rights may require an appropriately qualified legal adviser.

Information we may need

The records required depend on the lodgement. Useful information can include the latest ASIC annual statement, corporate key or portal details where applicable, current registered office and business addresses, officeholder details, signed consents, share registers, company resolutions and documents supporting the effective date of a change.

Latest ASIC Annual Statement

Recent annual review statement showing current registered details and review date.

Corporate Key or Portal Details

Official 9-digit ASIC Corporate Key or registered portal login information where applicable.

Registered Office & Business Addresses

Current and proposed physical addresses for registered office and principal place of business.

Officeholder Details

Full legal names, dates and places of birth, and residential addresses of directors and secretaries.

Signed Consents

Written consents to act as director or secretary, and occupier consent for registered office if applicable.

Share Registers

Company register of members, share allotment records, and share certificates.

Company Resolutions

Minutes of directors' meetings or circular resolutions approving the corporate change.

Effective Date Documents

Documents supporting the exact date on which the change took place in company operations.

Internal Register Consistency

For ownership or share changes, it is important that the ASIC filing is consistent with the company’s internal records. If the underlying transaction is incomplete or unclear, the filing should not be treated as a substitute for proper documentation.
