Description

As per the most recent UX/UI meeting (Jan 30th) FCSP advised that the rules for failure to file a TR AR are the same as the rules for failure to file a BC Company AR.

For a BC Company Annual report it must be filed within 1 year, 2 months plus one day of the company’s anniversary date, or it will be considered outstanding and in non-compliance. It must file all of its overdue annual reports to remove the non-compliance. The registrar may dissolve a company that fails to file an annual report for 2 consecutive years.

Requirements gathering is needed to:
1) Understand the stages of dissolution for a BC Company (e.g. I believe there is a stage D1F where a company is first flagged and notification goes to the client, there may be publication in the Gazette, there is a staff component of actually initiating dissolution etc). _For this work requirements exist. Morgan Johnstone is going to attempt to locate those and provide information to our team._
2) Understand how the rules apply with the Transparency Register. E.g. A enforcement officer may also issue fines. When would a fine be issued instead of the company being dissolved? Is the company who fails to file automatically put through the same process as BC Companies or is there some decision on which path to pursue (fine vs dissolution).

Research direction

Begin by locating the existing Transparency Register and BC Company annual-report workflows; the issue names no files or tests. Confirm the dissolution stages and fine-versus-dissolution decision using the requirements referenced in the issue, then define acceptance criteria for both paths.
