Records to prepare

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

  • Shareholder register and proposed distribution
  • Relevant financial statements and resolutions
  • Payment and withholding information

Deliverables and engagement planning

The dividend compliance support 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.
