Pursuant to the Brazilian Civil Code (section 1078) and Brazilian Corporations Act (section 132), companies organized under the form of a limited liability company or corporation must approve management\u2019s accountings on a yearly basis within the first four months following the end of the financial year.<\/p>\n
Therefore, quotaholders of limited liability companies and shareholders of corporations whose accounting year coincides with the calendar year must hold a quotaholders\u2019\/shareholders\u2019 meeting until April 30th, 2022 with the purpose of:<\/p>\n
\u2714 Taking management\u2019s financial accounts and to examine, discuss and vote on financial statements;<\/p>\n

\u2714 Appointing officers and fiscal council\u2019s members, if applicable.<\/p>\n
We highlight that the law requires that the meeting be held on an annual basis, even if there is no officers\u2019 appointment or distribution of profits.<\/p>\n
The minutes of the aforementioned meetings must be submitted to registration and filing at the Registry of Commerce of the State of the company\u2019s headquarters. Additionally, for corporations, the minutes must be published at a newspaper of wide circulation in the company’s headquarters\u2019 location, except for privately held corporations with an annual turnover of up to R$ 78 million, which can publish its corporate acts at the Balance Sheet Platform of the Digital Bookkeeping Public System (SPED), free of charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[82],"class_list":["post-5474","publicacoes","type-publicacoes","status-publish","hentry","category-notes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
