How to lodge forms online
Lodge forms online via Registered Liquidator portal
Registered liquidators can lodge most external administration forms online using ASIC's Registered Liquidator (EXAD) portal. Lodging online is quick, simple and streamlined.
Guides to using the online portal
Lodge forms online via Regulatory portal
Registered liquidators are required to lodge statutory reports prepared under sections 422, 438D and 533 of the Corporations Act 2001 and Regulation 5.5.05 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 via the ASIC Regulatory Portal.
There are also transactions on the Regulatory Portal enabling registered liquidators to request ASIC's assistance in an external administration to obtain the company books and records, and to provide notice they do not intend to supply a supplementary report.
The Regulatory Portal replaced previous lodgement channels for these transactions. More information about this change is on our website.
Help in obtaining books, records and ROCAP
You can get help from ASIC if officers or third parties do not hand over company books and records or directors do not submit a ROCAP (Report on Company Activities and Property).

Financial reporting and AGMs
Relief is available for externally administered companies and registered schemes from financial reporting obligations and having to hold an annual general meeting. Read Regulatory Guide 174 Externally administered companies: Financial reporting and AGMs (RG 174).
