FAQ
Common questions
The corporate records health check covers records hygiene generally. This generator focuses specifically on board governance: meetings, resolutions, conflicts disclosure, committee structure, and the items diligence counsel reviews about how the board itself operates.
The profile adjusts which items appear and how they're prioritized. Closely-held corporations get a leaner checklist (no committee structure, audit waiver path, written-consent-first defaults). VC-backed corporations get the full board-formality checklist (committees, observer rights, audit expectations). Multi-entity portfolios get items specific to group governance (intercompany agreements, shared directors, consolidated reporting).
Yes, current as of May 2026. Statutes do evolve. Treat the citations as the right starting point; for any specific question, verify with counsel that the current version of the statute still applies.
Critical items are statutory requirements: failure to satisfy them creates compliance risk or makes board actions voidable. Important items are best practices that diligence counsel will look for and that affect the corporation's diligence profile, but missing one isn't an immediate compliance issue. Everything else is "standard" hygiene.
No. It's a structured checklist based on the corporate-law statute for the chosen jurisdiction. Specific corporations have specific facts (bylaws, shareholders agreement, industry overlays) that may add or remove items. Use this checklist as a starting reference and verify with your counsel for any particular situation.
