Statutory workflow

Track every client company from incorporation to annual return

Incorporation, registers, AGMs, annual returns and tax dates are tracked for every client company, with each next task.

  1. 1

    Incorporation

    Open the company file and track each step to the BizFile submission.

  2. 2

    Registers

    Record officers, shareholders, share capital and registrable controllers.

  3. 3

    Changes

    Log share transfers, allotments, name changes and appointments as they happen.

  4. 4

    AGM

    Watch AGM dates, issue the notices and file the resolutions.

  5. 5

    Annual return

    Follow each annual return from draft to completion on the filing dashboard.

  6. 6

    ECI and GST

    Track tax dates beside the secretarial ones, with early reminders.

Company data

Company records, officers and shareholdings

One record per client company holds its particulars, officers, share capital and shareholders, updating every register that uses them.

Company general details module in the Episcript Corporate Secretarial System

Company general details

Every client company keeps one record: registration particulars, UEN, GST status, business activities, registered address and contact details. Staff update a field once, and the change reaches the registers, the documents and the reports that draw on it.

Officer records module tracking directors, auditors and appointments

Officers and appointments

Directors, company secretaries, auditors and other officers sit against the company with their appointment and resignation dates. Add a role, remove one, and the system writes the change to the history. That trail supports both your filings and your own reporting.

Share capital module showing share classes, currency and paid-up amounts

Share capital

Track issued and paid-up capital by share class and currency. Amend a class, record a fresh allotment, and the capital position updates across the register of members and the certificates you issue from it. Historical positions remain readable.

Shareholder module handling individual and corporate shareholders and ownership structures

Shareholders

Individual and corporate shareholders share one module. Open a company and you see who holds what, which certificates were issued, and how ownership passes up through a corporate holder. Transfers write straight back into the register of members.

Paperwork

Document generation, resolutions and share certificates

The system drafts your standard documents from the company record, and your team reviews, downloads and sends them.

  • Document generation. Form 45, board papers, resolutions and share certificates, drawn from the company record.
  • Dynamic document generation. Turn your firm's own precedents into templates with placeholders, for matters that need wording of their own.
  • Dynamic form generation. Create a form, publish it to the portal or keep it internal, and collect answers against the client.
  • Board resolution tracker. Record each resolution, follow the approvals and file the signed copy centrally.
  • Electronic signing. Clients sign generated documents on screen, each signature placed in its own slot, and the signed copy files back against the company.
  • Agreements. Store secretarial, registered office and payroll agreements with their fees, terms and termination dates.

Client onboarding

Electronic signatures, BizFile company profiles and ID face verification

These modules handle signatures, new client set-up and identity checks on the people behind each company.

Electronic signing of documents

Send a resolution or a set of minutes generated by the system for signing. Each signatory is notified and signs on screen, the signature lands in that person's slot on the document, and the signed copy is saved against the company.

Company profiles from BizFile

Upload a client's BizFile business profile and AI builds the company profile: its particulars, directors and other officers, capital, share details, members and shareholders, ready for your staff to check before it is saved.

ID and face verification

Upload a person's identity document and they receive a link to verify themselves with a photo of their face, matched against the photo on the ID. The result is saved against the person for your due diligence file.

Deadlines and registers

Statutory compliance software for ACRA filings, changes and alerts

These modules watch the dates and registers behind each of the company secretary's statutory duties →.

Company changes

Every change in a company's history stays on record: share transfers, allotments, name changes and updates to particulars. Open a past change to read what happened, or start a new one from the company file.

Beneficial ownership, RORC and nominee registers

Maintain the register of registrable controllers alongside beneficial ownership details, with registers of nominee directors and nominee shareholders built beside it where your firm keeps them. The system flags missing particulars and lapsed entries.

ACRA API filing and dashboard

File with ACRA directly through an API, then track every filing on one dashboard: submitted, complete or still waiting on a client signature.

Reminders

Automatic reminders go out before AGM, ECI and GST dates. You set the wording, the lead time and the follow-up rule, then track delivery. Firms using WhatsApp can send the same reminder through it.

Compliance alerts

Alerts fire when a company misses something: a late AGM, an overdue filing, an officer record with a missing or overdue update. Your team chases the client early, rather than finding the gap during a year-end review.

Expiry and renewal tracking

Watch expiry dates on tenancy documents, nominee agreements and director identity documents. The system warns you ahead of each date, so a renewal reaches the client before the document lapses.

CSP obligations

Corporate service provider compliance, statutory registers and reporting

The registers a CSP keeps under the Corporate Service Providers Act, held per client company with a full audit trail.

What the system keeps

Registers and records held per company

Register of registrable controllers
RORC entries with beneficial ownership particulars, cessation dates and the history behind each change.
Nominee director and shareholder registers
ROND and RONS records built alongside the RORC where your firm maintains them, drawing on the same nominee arrangements.
Registers of members and officers
Shareholdings, transfers and appointments, updated from the company record rather than typed in twice.
Compliance register and reports
Filings, registers and open items for every client company in one view, exportable for a partner review or an ACRA inspection.
Audit trail
Every edit, approval and deletion logged in the background, with the user and the timestamp attached.
Access control
Rights granted by role and by client, so sensitive files stay closed to everyone outside the engagement. Together with audit logs and secure document handling, this supports your PDPA obligations alongside your own policies.

Client access

Capability

AI features for Corporate Secretarial Software in Singapore

Each AI feature works with information already held in your system, and you see it running before it goes live.

AI reading an incoming document and lifting names, dates and share figures from it

Document reading

AI reads an incoming document and pulls out the names, dates, share figures and addresses, then presents them for your staff to confirm before anything updates the register.

AI summarising a company file ahead of a client call

Company file summaries

AI summarises a company file before a client call: the current officers, the shareholding, recent changes and anything outstanding, drawn from your own records.

AI drafting a reply to a routine client email from company data

Drafted client replies

AI drafts the reply to a routine client email using the company data behind it. Your staff edit the wording and send it, which keeps the tone yours.

AI checking a statutory register for entries that do not add up

Register checks

AI scans registers for entries that look wrong: a missing controller, a shareholding that no longer adds up, an officer with no appointment date. Each finding lands as a task.

AI ranking the client companies that need attention this week

Suggested next actions

AI ranks the companies that need attention this week, using deadline dates, filing status and how long a request has waited on a client response.

AI answering a client question inside the client portal

Portal assistant

AI answers client questions inside the portal, using information from their own company file. Anything it cannot answer routes to the staff member handling that client.

Questions

Corporate Secretarial Software FAQs

At minimum: company records, officers and shareholdings, statutory registers including the RORC, and document generation for resolutions and certificates. Add deadline tracking for AGMs and annual returns, plus an audit trail on every change. Other useful additions include a client portal with SingPass login, annual fee billing and accounting integration.

Yes. The system drafts them from the data already held against the company. Your team reviews the draft, downloads it as PDF or Word, then sends it to the client. Templates carry your firm's own wording rather than a fixed house style, and each finished document files back against the company record.

Yes. Documents generated by the system go to each signatory with a notification, they sign on screen, and each signature is placed in that person's own slot before the signed copy is filed against the company. Your firm decides which templates go out for electronic signing and which still need a wet-ink signature.

Yes. Statutory dates are tracked per company, with reminders before each one and alerts when something falls overdue. AGM dates, annual return status, ECI and GST deadlines sit on the same view. A filing dashboard shows what has been submitted, what is complete and what still waits on a client signature.

Yes. The register of registrable controllers comes as standard, with beneficial ownership particulars held against the company. Registers of nominee directors and nominee shareholders are built alongside it where your firm maintains them. Every entry carries its own history, so you can show what changed, who changed it and when.

These workflows sit outside the standard module set. Where your firm runs them, we scope the process with you and build it as its own phase. That covers the checks you carry out, including ID and face verification of directors and shareholders, the documents you collect, the risk rating you assign and the review dates that follow. The obligation stays with your firm, and the system keeps the record.

Yes. The client portal supports SingPass and Corppass login, so clients sign in without another password to remember, and details pull through from Myinfo. Once inside they download documents, view invoices and statements, submit requests and complete forms you have published. Every portal action writes to the activity log against that company.

Yes. Invoicing data syncs with Xero and QuickBooks, which keeps invoice status, payments and revenue aligned across both systems. WhatsApp and email campaigns connect the same way. We scope each integration against the platforms your firm actually runs, and quote others where the vendor publishes a suitable API.

The system is hosted in Singapore, with regular automated backups and secure access controls. Inside the application, access is granted by role and by client, documents carry their own permissions, and system activity is recorded through audit logs. Hosting and security arrangements can be scoped to meet your own policies.

Yes. We map your spreadsheets or your current database to the new structure, clean the data with you, then load company records, officers, shareholdings and document history. You check a test import before the live run, and nothing is dropped without your sign-off.

Yes. Most firms begin with company records, document generation and reminders. Registers, billing, the client portal, reporting and AI features follow in later phases. Each phase is quoted and released on its own, which spreads the cost across your financial year and keeps the first release small enough to test properly.

Most firms run on the first phase within a few weeks. Scoping and template work take the opening stretch, then data migration, testing and training follow. The number of modules and the depth of customisation set the pace. Larger builds with portals and integrations run longer, and we agree the schedule before work starts.

Yes. Our solutions are eligible for government grants. The EDGE grant supports project costs including software, and we will explain how your project fits and prepare the documents an assessor expects to see.
