With the enactment of CLERP 7, Corporate Secretarial Compliance became a very time consuming and tedious administration workload. This was implemented to improve the quality of public information stored on ASIC's company register. Corporate compliance is no longer a once a year activity, it has now become a continuous activity all year long. Most changes to a company register must now be notified within 28 days, including all capital and share holdings for private companies. This coupled with ASIC’s new penalty regime has resulted in many fines being issued for non-compliance especially in the area of failure to notify changes in the residential address of officeholders and members within the prescribed time of 28 days from the date of change. The penalty for this omission from officeholders is $1,100.00 and/or 3 months imprisonment. Experience has shown that the requirement of continuous disclosure coupled with the penalties ASIC can and does impose upon late lodgements and late payment has meant that those who take on the role of compliance must be diligent, organised and have in place a workplace system which ensures that omissions and errors are kept to a minimum.
