Entity Conversion

Plan a change in entity form with clear approval, document and transition requirements.

Overview

Plan a change in entity form with clear approval, document and transition requirements. Start by identifying the purpose, reporting period and intended users of the work. BIAT can assess the available records and propose an engagement with defined responsibilities and deliverables.

Scope of support

  • Current and proposed form assessment
  • Consent, application and evidence checklist
  • Contract, licence and accounting transition planning

Records to prepare

Use this starting checklist to prepare for a discussion. The final evidence requirements are confirmed after the initial assessment.

  • Entity constitution and ownership records
  • Latest financial statements
  • Proposed structure and stakeholder consents

Deliverables and engagement planning

The entity conversion scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.

FAQ

Questions to help you scope the engagement.
Does conversion automatically transfer all licences?

The effect on licences, contracts, registrations and banking arrangements must be assessed separately. Those transition items are included in the plan where relevant.
