Registration of Corporate Officers with the IGJ

A properly managed corporate record helps prevent documentary problems from obstructing necessary company decisions. Article 60 of Argentina's General Companies Law addresses registration of appointments and removals of company administrators. The appointing body's decision, term of office, acceptance and legal eligibility must be checked.

What to keep in mind

The work may include minutes, forms, publications and professional prequalification documents. Internal appointment and registration have distinct effects, especially toward banks and third parties.

Registering a new director without documenting the departure of a predecessor can leave inconsistencies in the corporate record.

Distinctions often confused

Registration does not confer unlimited authority; powers arise under the law, bylaws and valid delegations.

Frequently asked questions

Can a director act before their appointment is registered?
This requires distinguishing the appointment's internal effect from its enforceability against third parties and assessing the particular act.
Must the departure of a director also be registered?
Yes, where required by the applicable regime, to avoid inaccurate representation records.
