Article ID: 30144

In MYOB Accountants Enterprise Corporate Compliance (AE CC) you can prepare an ASIC Form RA71 to request company data for a specific company that you are the agent for.

For Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to accept this form they must have previously received an Electronic Form 362 - Appointment or cessation of a registered agent by a company.

There are three types of requests:

1. RA71 Data Request for current company details

From the Corporations module list, select a corporation and click Request data from ASIC from the task menu.
Select the Request for data download checkbox and ensure that the date signed field is completed, and click Next.
Ensure that the Form RA71 - Request for company checkbox is ticked, and click Finish, then Close.

The form is displayed in the Lodgment list, and can be lodged electronically.

The RA71 Data Request is sent back from ASIC as an RA72 form which can be accessed from the ASIC Forms Received tab from the Lodgment module.

2. RA71 CS Request for current company details

From the Corporations module list, select a corporation and click Request data from ASIC from the task menu.
Select the Request current company details in Company Statement format checkbox and ensure that the date signed field is completed, and click Next.
Ensure that the Form RA71 - Request for company checkbox is ticked, and click Finish, then Close.

The form is displayed in the Lodgement list, and can be lodged electronically.

The RA71 CS request is sent back from the ASIC as an RC05 form and can be viewed in the ASIC Forms Received tab from the Lodgment module.

3. RA71 AS request for a re-issue of a Company Statement

The request needs to meet the following criteria:

The original Annual Statement was dispatched to the same agent making the reprint request.
The original Annual Statement was dispatched electronically.

Perform these steps to request for a re-issue of an Company Statement:

From the Corporations module list, select the corporation and click Request data from ASIC from the task menu.
Select the Request to re-issue last Company Statement checkbox and ensure that the date signed field is completed, and click Next.
Ensure that the Form RA71 - Request for company checkbox is ticked, and then click Finish, then Close.

The form is displayed in the Lodgement list, and can be lodged electronically.

The RA71 AS request is sent back from the ASIC as a Company Statement and can be viewed from the Company Statements module.

The Annual Statement will be in your EDGE inbox for 10 days, this will not be downloadable on the 10^th day, so you need to ensure you perform a Send/Receive prior to Day10.
