In today’s complex business environment, strong corporate governance and meticulous compliance with statutory requirements are fundamental to sustaining growth and managing risk. PwC’s Company Secretarial team provides clients with professional, seamless, and practical support to meet their statutory obligations under Papua New Guinea’s company law framework, allowing you to focus on your core business objectives while we manage the complexities of governance and compliance.

Our highly skilled and approachable team works closely with company directors, officers, and management teams, offering clear guidance, prompt responses, and tailored solutions to a wide array of company secretarial and regulatory matters. We pride ourselves on being accessible advisors who understand your business challenges and deliver practical, efficient support that safeguards your company’s legal standing and governance reputation.

Key Services We Offer Include:

 

  • Company Incorporations: 
    Whether you are launching a startup or expanding your existing operations, PwC guides you through the entire corporate registration process. We ensure that incorporation documents are accurately prepared and lodged so that your company is legally established on time and in full compliance with PNG’s regulatory standards. We also provide advice on the optimal company structure to support your strategic goals, including considerations for tax, governance, and operational efficiency.
  • Branch Registrations: 
    For multinational corporations or foreign entities seeking to establish a local presence, we facilitate the complex registration process of branches in PNG. Our experts ensure that all regulatory approvals are secured efficiently, enabling your business to operate within the legal framework and meet local compliance requirements smoothly.

  • Office and Correspondence Address Registration: 
    We offer solutions for registering a legal office or correspondence address, an essential requirement for company communications and statutory notifications. This service ensures that your company remains fully compliant with statutory requirements for address registration and that important official correspondence is promptly received and managed.

  • Annual Compliance: 
    Statutory compliance is ongoing and requires rigorous attention to detail. PwC manages annual filings, and lodgement of returns, ensuring your company remains in good standing with regulatory authorities. We proactively monitor upcoming deadlines and regulatory changes to mitigate the risk of non-compliance or penalties.

  • Attendance at Board Meetings and Minutes Preparation: 
    Effective governance requires clear and accurate record-keeping of board decisions and resolutions. Our team supports companies by organising board meetings, preparing agendas, recording detailed minutes, and maintaining proper documentation in accordance with legal and corporate governance requirements. This service helps your board focus on strategic discussions while ensuring all legal formalities are met.
