Compliance FAQ

Common questions regarding corporate restructuring, regulatory risk, and CBCA compliance frameworks.

What are the key filing obligations under the CBCA for a private corporation?

Private corporations must file annual returns, maintain a registered office, and keep a register of directors and shareholders. Changes to board composition or share structure require immediate amendment filings. Failure to comply can result in dissolution or director liability.

How does corporate restructuring affect existing shareholder agreements?

Amalgamations, continuances, and plans of arrangement typically require shareholder approval by special resolution. Existing agreements may be superseded or require renegotiation. Legal counsel should review all contracts for change-of-control clauses and consent requirements.

What constitutes regulatory risk in cross-border operations for a Canadian entity?

Regulatory risk includes exposure to anti-corruption laws, data privacy regulations, trade sanctions, and foreign investment review. A risk-based compliance program should include board oversight, internal controls, and periodic audits. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, reputational damage, and operational restrictions.

Are there specific director duties under the CBCA related to compliance?

Directors owe a duty of care and fiduciary duty to the corporation. They must ensure the corporation complies with all applicable laws, including the CBCA. Personal liability can arise for breaches such as improper dividends, insolvent transactions, or failure to file required documents.

How often should a compliance framework be reviewed and updated?

Compliance frameworks should be reviewed annually or whenever there is a material change in operations, legislation, or risk profile. Regular updates ensure alignment with current regulatory expectations and reduce exposure to enforcement actions.
