Since April 2001, the Republic of Ireland government has required, through Section 43 of the Companies (Amendment) (No.2) Act 1999, that a Resident Director be appointed for all companies. However, a Non-Resident Directors insurance bond may be provided in lieu of the presence of a permanently residing director. The purpose of the bond is to ensure that the company will complete the filings at the Companies Registration Office (CRO) and with the tax authorities. If the company fails to do these filings, then either of those bodies are entitled to call upon the bond issuers, to covers any fines or penalties imposed on the company while it is active. The bond Upon request, CODDAN is able to assist our clients with the bond application procedure in order to get you one step closer to forming your Irish company. | |  | |  | | Appointment of nominees, financial support, and secretarial assistance:
Although corporate entity shareholders are allowed, it is a requirement to have two Directors and one Secretary who are real individuals. If needed, Coddan may provide supplementary nominee members in order to comply with Irish regulations. Company owners should also be aware of the various secretarial obligations imposed upon a company; for example, an annual return, which is a document setting out certain prescribed company information, is required to be delivered by a company, whether trading or not, to the CRO once at least in every calendar year. Also, companies are required to keep proper books of account which give a true and fair view of the company's financial affairs. |  | | |
