- It is imperative that you follow the correct procedure when you need to remove yourself forcefully as a director or a secretary of a company.
- Being an officer of a company carries serious responsibilities, and officers must use the proper method to record the required information on the CRO register. Therefore, company officers who have resigned must notify the CRO accordingly.
- A company must file Form B10 in order to notify, among other things, the cessation of an
officer’s appointment (resignation, removal, etc.). This form must be filed with the CRO within 14
days of the change occurring. Failure to file Form B10 constitutes an offence.
- If a company persistently and continuously fails to file Form B10 in the CRO, which is essential to record the cessation of a person (or company, if the secretary is a limited company) as a director or secretary, despite receiving explicit demands, then the concerned person (or limited company, where applicable) may, as a subsequent step, opt to file Form B69 in order to facilitate the correction of the CRO’s records.
