Under the Corporations Act 2001, former directors of a deregistered company must keep company books after deregistration for at least 3 years. Clock starts: deregistration.
The books of a company that has been deregistered (other than after a liquidation).
This is the Corporations Act 2001 requirement. The same records can also fall under other laws. See other terms that apply.
The terms
Conditions and exceptions Caution
From the provisions:
- Does not apply to books that a liquidator has to keep under subsection 542(2), or subsection 70-35(1) of Schedule 2 (retention and return or destruction of books)
The law
Other terms that apply to these records
This page covers company books after deregistration on their own. The same file is often caught by other laws as well, with different periods and start dates. See why a legal term is not a schedule.
3 records. 3 sets of rules. They don't agree.
One business file can hold all of these at once.
Now do that for every record your organisation holds, and redo it when the law changes. ScheduleOne has done that work, and keeps it current.
