Corporate Compliance and Governance

The records a Thai company is required to keep, brought up to date and kept current.

Thai law requires a company to keep its shareholding and capital records, its board and shareholder minutes and its statutory registers, and to make certain filings each year. We establish what the company holds today and draft the records it is required to keep.

What this covers

  • Review of the company structure and constitutional documents
  • Shareholding and capital contribution records
  • The register of shareholders and the share transfer file
  • Board and shareholder meeting procedure, and the minute book
  • The company’s filing position with the Registrar
  • Keeping the registers and the minute book current as shareholders, directors and capital change

What you receive

You receive the documents the company is missing, drafted and ready to file. Depending on the matter, that means:

  • A written review stating, item by item, what exists, what does not, and what is required
  • A register of shareholders and a share transfer file drawn up so a transfer is effective
  • Notices, minutes and resolutions for the meetings the company has to hold
  • A shareholders agreement where the shareholders want their arrangement recorded
  • A one-page filing calendar: every filing the company owes, and the date it falls due

How an engagement runs

  • Scoping. A short call about the company, its shareholders, and what prompted the question.
  • Quote. A written scope and a fixed fee, before any work starts.
  • Review and drafting. We work from your actual documents, not from a template.
  • Delivery. You get the documents, what has to be signed, and what has to be lodged and by when.

What this does not cover

We do not do bookkeeping, accounting, audit or tax filing. We work alongside your accountant and your auditor rather than replacing them, and we do not act as the company’s auditor. Visa and work permit administration sits outside this. Court proceedings are referred to Thai litigation counsel. Company formation and foreign ownership questions are handled under Corporate and Commercial, and checking a company before you buy into it under Due Diligence and Risk. We describe what the law says about nominee arrangements, and we do not advise on them.

Fees

Fixed fee, quoted in writing after scoping and payable in full before work begins. We do not bill by the hour. Government and registration fees are separate and are paid to the department that charges them.
