An Annual Return may take you from 30 minutes to an hour to prepare manually if you include the associated minutes and correspondence. The Transfer of Shares, Allotment of Shares and Change of Directors may take you even longer. Are you recovering this time at your full charge-out rate?

Are you entirely happy with the quality of the output compared to that produced by your accounts production or tax software? If not then you could undoubtedly benefit from improved client satisfaction as it’s likely that your clients are not entirely satisfied either.

You may only undertake Corporate Compliance work as a service to your clients and an unprofitable one at that! But time savings in performing repetitive tasks can be achieved easily by using the right tools – taking typically 20% of the time it takes to prepare manually. If these were available to you then you could actively seek for this work, make a good recovery on your chargeable time and benefit from providing a first rate service.

If you offer a company formation service you probably use an agent to act on your behalf. Now you can do the whole task yourself – simply & cheaply and increase your profits substantially.

The product that enables you to provide this first class service on a very profitable basis is CAS – developed by BGL of Australia.

Because it’s task orientated – no complicated menus or codes, it’s very easy to operate and doesn’t restrict you in any way. Its highly sophisticated process management system determines all the documents you need for any change - automatically. A simple click to confirm printing and all the required forms are produced without user intervention. No need to think about which forms to print – CAS does it for you.

CAS has been developed over the last ten years into the market leader including offices of BDO, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, KPMG and Ernst & Young. And many large corporate businesses too. It has a customer base of nearly 3,000 clients in 8 countries. And it is available in the UK .

The Process Management System automatically determines all the documents you need for any change to your Corporate Register. Displayed as a check list all you need do is click to confirm and every required document is printed. It removes the possibility of forgetting to produce a form and guarantees compliance.

Ensuring that deadlines aren’t missed and Annual Returns and other statutory documents are lodged by the due date is vital. CAS helps here too with its Document Tracking that records the flow of documents from preparation through to lodgement with Companies House. Whenever you print a document it’s automatically tracked.

Document Tracking reports include a comprehensive list for progressing your Annual Returns. These include:

You may well wish to add your own manual checks for associated tasks and the CAS Action Diary enables you to better plan your work schedules. For instance, you can print diary reports such as actions due in next 15 days.

Preparing dividend statements manually is very time consuming –CAS helps here too by automatically selecting these documents:

And you can choose to print them all or omit those you don’t need.
