Sign Controller Notices

As part of ACRA requirements, the Corporate Services Platform maintains an electronic non-public register of controllers for each client company. This controller information is also updated in ACRA’s centralized register RORC (Register of Registrable Controllers).

Who are registrable controllers?

A registrable controller is someone who:

• includes an interest in more than 25 percent of shares;
• have a right to appoint or remove directors holding a majority of the voting rights at director meetings;
• have the right to exercise significant influence or control over the company;

When there is a change in the company (a new company is incorporated, changes to company shareholding, shareholders, or directors, or any changes to the particulars of a company shareholder or a director) the "Notice For Controllers" will be sent to the email of individual associated with the company. Controllers will have 30 days to complete and sign the controller declaration.

Complete and Sign the Controller Notice

The actual completion and electronic signature process are easy to use. Each controller will receive an email from Corporate Services. The email will have the subject Action Required: Notice For Controllers and look similar to the image shown below.

To complete and sign the controller notice refer to Sign Documents Electronically help article with a step-by-step instruction for eSigning.

Once the response is received (or 30 days have passed from the Notice date), we will update our internal RORC (Register of Registrable Controllers) accordingly. In addition, the ACRA's centralized RORC will be updated.
