The Companies Act 2015 places many onerous responsibilities and demands on Companies and their Directors. In recent years, the Registrar of companies has imposed rigorous scrutiny on directors of companies for the manner in which their companies are governed. Directors are expected to promote and demonstrate a greater degree of competence and accountability. At Matthew & Partners Advocates LLP we will assist you in ensuring that you and your company are compliant with the provisions of the Companies Act to avoid possible enforcement action for non-compliance by the Registrar of Companies.

Non – compliance can lead to the imposition of hefty fines, loss of control over assets and in other cases can expose directors to personal liability for company debts.
