Legal audit of the company’s constituent documents
In the modern business environment, where legislation is constantly changing and competition is growing, every company must be confident in its legal security.
One of the most effective tools to achieve this goal is a legal audit of constituent documents. This process allows you to identify potential risks, eliminate violations and ensure that the company’s activities comply with current legislation.
The law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” offers a professional approach to conducting a legal audit, which allows clients to avoid many problems in the future.
What is a legal audit of constituent documents?
Legal audit of constituent documents is a comprehensive review of the statutory documents of an enterprise, the purpose of which is to identify deviations from the requirements of the legislation, as well as to ensure their relevance and compliance with the actual conditions of the company’s activities.
Constituent documents are the basis for the functioning of any enterprise, therefore their correctness and completeness are of crucial importance for successful business.
They include the charter, decisions of the founders, minutes of meetings, registration documents and other materials regulating the company’s activities.
Main stages of conducting a legal audit
- Analysis of statutory documents
At this stage, we check the charter, founders’ decisions, meeting minutes and other documents regulating the company’s activities. Special attention is paid to the compliance of these documents with current legislation, in particular tax, labor and corporate law.
Lawyers check whether all changes made to the charter are correctly drawn up and whether they correspond to the current conditions of the company’s activities.
- Verification of registration documents
Lawyers analyze data entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Public Organizations to ensure that the information in the register corresponds to the actual data of the enterprise.
This includes checking the correctness of the specified addresses, data on founders, managers, and types of activities.
- Evaluation of corporate procedures
The audit includes checking the correctness of holding general meetings, drawing up decisions of the governing bodies, and compliance with the procedures for amending the charter.
Lawyers check whether all formalities were observed when making decisions, whether the minutes are drawn up correctly, and whether they comply with legal requirements.
- Identifying legal risks
During an audit, lawyers identify potential legal risks that may arise due to documents not meeting legal requirements or being out of date.
This may include risks of fines, litigation, or problems with counterparties.
- Recommendations for eliminating violations
After completing the audit, lawyers provide the client with a detailed report outlining the deficiencies identified and suggesting ways to address them. This may include amending the articles of association, updating registration information, or conducting additional corporate procedures.
