# Corporate Health Check — Orientation Sheet

**Status:** Interactive deepen v1.1 live — statutory vs optional secretarial rows · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 4 · Corporate secretarial health  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

Self-audit annual return, beneficial-ownership, statutory registers and director records before you call the file clean.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Company / ORS status** | |
| **Annual return** | |
| **Beneficial ownership** | |
| **Registers last updated** | |
| **Director records match?** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Self-audit only.** BRELA decides filings.
2. **Registers vs portal.** Keep both current.
3. **BO labels.** Companies Act vs AML — different tests.
4. **No invented fees.**

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Issue a BRELA clearance
- Replace ORS or the registrar
- Interactive deepen v1.1 live — statutory vs optional secretarial rows
