Electronic Filing Of Company Documents Introduced In Ireland
Ireland's Minister for Trade, Industry and Commerce, Michael Ahern on Wednesday
signed a Commencement Order for the new Investment Funds, Companies and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, designed to facilitate the electronic filing and signing of
documents at the Companies Registration Office. Under section 57 of the Act, a company may authorise a person to be its Electronic
Filing Agent. If a company chooses to do this, there will no longer be a need
for directors and secretaries of companies to apply for ID and PINs. Speaking with regard to the changes, which will come into force on December
1, Mr Ahern explained that: "The introduction of a statutory Electronic Filing Agent will greatly
simplify the process for the companies and their agents. It will lead to greater
use of electronic filing by customers of the CRO. Taken together with the forthcoming
adjustment in fees, doing business electronically with the CRO is now easier,
quicker and cheaper." .
