  • Company's audit

    Hello all

    I am after some legal advice please...

    I was a director of my previous company for over 8 years. I was forced to resign my role in last October, and now I am just a shareholder of the business.

    I received an email from my previous company yesterday asking me to fill in two forms – Directors Emoluments and Related Party Disclosure Statement. What happens is, another shareholder has asked for a company's audit for the last company's year which was ended on 31 July 2019.

    Please tell me if these two forms are necessary for me to complete personally for the audit.

    I found it odd that the business has a record of what I received from the company up until 31 July 2019, so I don't quite understand why I am now asked to fill in the forms for the audit.

    Furthermore, I have fallen out with the other directors of the business, so the back of my mind keeps telling me they possibly try using these two forms to catch me out here.

    Before I left the company, I received a basic salary plus a dividend through my alphabet share every month. But once I walked out the door, I have not received a penny from the business even I was still a company director up until October 2019. So I thought if I must complete these forms, I will only declare I have received no money as a company director from the business. I can only see the basic salary was for me being an employee (not a director) and the dividend through my alphabet share was for me being a shareholder (not a director).

    Many thanks, and very much appreciated!

    Hi,

    This forum is not a place that gives legal advice and no advice is a substitute for seeking independent legal advice from a lawyer qualified in the law you are asking advice on. It's a specific question on company law and possibly overlapping with tax/accounting law too, so you might not get the correct answers you are looking for.

    My advice is to not scrimp and get proper legal legal advice, you might even be able to get your answer from someone who offers a free consultation.
    If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you

      Hi, thanks for your comment. Please tell me if I should look for a solicitor or an accountant for a proper legal advice.

        Your post requested legal advice, so if that's what you are looking for then it's a qualified lawyer you need to speak to.
