Corporate Health Checks: Ensuring compliance and mitigating risk

Maintaining compliance with evolving corporate regulations is essential for every business. A Corporate Health Check provides a structured review of your company’s statutory obligations, ensuring that your filings and corporate records are accurate, up to date, and fully aligned with regulatory requirements.

At BDO Ireland, our Corporate Governance team conducts comprehensive compliance assessments to help businesses identify and address potential risks before they become issues.

What does a Corporate Health Check include?

A Corporate Health Check is a tailored review of your company’s compliance status, which may include:

Regulatory compliance review – Ensuring adherence to the Companies Act and relevant corporate regulations.

Beneficial ownership compliance – Confirming compliance with the Registrar of Beneficial Ownership (RBO) requirements.

Company filings verification – Reviewing statutory filings with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) to ensure they accurately reflect your company’s current details.

Statutory registers audit – Checking that your company’s statutory records are properly maintained and up to date.

Filing corrections & updates – Completing any necessary amendments to rectify non-compliance or inaccuracies.

Why conduct a Corporate Health Check?

Regular compliance checks reduce risk exposure, ensuring your business remains in good standing with regulatory authorities. By proactively reviewing statutory obligations, companies can avoid penalties, administrative burdens, and reputational risks associated with non-compliance.

Keeping your company compliant is not just a legal requirement—it’s a strategic safeguard. A well-maintained corporate record ensures transparency, facilitates business transactions, and enhances investor and stakeholder confidence.

If you’re unsure about your company’s compliance status, a Corporate Health Check provides clarity, control, and confidence in your governance framework.
