ACRA issues public announcement
It has come to ACRA’s attention that the entity has sent out invoice reminders to companies that had earlier provided company information to them, to seek payment for subscription services. We would like to emphasise that ACRA has no links whatsoever with this entity. In Jan 2014, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) brought 104 charges against the company for failing to display the company name (52 charges) and registration number (52 charges) in its correspondences with companies in November 2013. The case is now before the State Court. ACRA has gathered additional evidence with a view to tendering additional charges should any offence be revealed.
