Responding to IGJ Information Requests and Inspections

A properly managed corporate record helps prevent documentary problems from obstructing necessary company decisions. IGJ requests may demand documents, explanations or corrective filings. Their scope, deadline and procedural context must first be established.

What to keep in mind

A response should set out verifiable facts, preserve copies and supply relevant supporting documents. Potential sanctions or impairment of rights may require a defensive strategy or administrative appeal.

An incomplete response or missed deadline can jeopardize other filings and aggravate exposure.

Distinctions often confused

A registry request to correct paperwork differs from a formal supervisory or sanctioning proceeding.

Frequently asked questions

Can a company request more time to answer the IGJ?
Possibly under applicable procedural rules, but an extension must be sought in time and cannot be presumed granted.
Should all company documents be handed over?
The company must comply with lawful requests while assessing legitimate limits concerning unrelated confidential information.
