NEWS ARTICLE | ASIC Has Removed Director Addresses from Public Searches - Here’s What Still Matters
ASIC has stopped displaying directors’ residential addresses in public company extracts. A positive step for privacy, but an easy one to misinterpret.
Partner Amanda Comelli states "Directors still need to keep their address details accurate with ASIC, as regulators will continue to rely on the recorded address for formal notices, including Director Penalty Notices. If the address is wrong, you are at risk of missing critical correspondence. Also, for businesses that rely on personal guarantees, it also means you can no longer source a director’s address through an ASIC search. Business should make sure they obtain and record these details at the time the contract or guarantee is signed".
A small regulatory tweak, but one with practical flow‑on effects for compliance and contracting processes. See our article below to find out more.
