Governance and compliance changes for Irish Business
Beneficial ownership registers, mandatory e-filing, and the adoption of compliant constitutions are three key challenges to corporate governance in Irish organisations today.
Directors’ Compliance Statement
Overview
Companies Act 2014, which came into effect on 1 June 2015, imposes a new compliance requirement on company directors.
The requirement can be simply stated – directors must include a statement in their Directors’ Report that:
- acknowledges responsibility for securing compliance with the relevant obligations, and
- confirms that certain things have been done, or provides explanations as to why those things have not been done
