Solvency Declaration: Pursuant To Companies Act 2016 (What Why Who When & How)

11 Oct 2019 - Fri / 1 day / 9:30am - 4:30pm / Selangor Bar Committee Auditorium

The Companies Act 2016 (the Act) introduces substantial changes to the Malaysia corporate landscape and its impact on corporate law is inevitable. One of the substantial changes is the introduction of solvency, making its compliance a prerequisite to some major corporate yet common activities and undertakings. The rationale behind such requirement is to safeguard the interest of competing stakeholders, requiring directors to make solvency declarations before embarking on certain corporate undertakings, and non-compliance of which brings dire consequences.
