The Responsible ASIC Registered Agent – In-depth training for ASIC Administrators

Viola from CorpSec services has developed a fantastic course for ASIC Registered Agents and has been offering a training webinar to our CAS360 clients for almost a year. With her wealth of knowledge in this specialised field, many of our clients have benefited from the webinar. BGL is very excited to learn that the webinar has now been developed into a comprehensive self-paced eLearning course which can be completed at your own pace at any time.

This course has been developed by a practicing ASIC registered agent, specifically for other registered agents. It combines in one course, a diverse range of topics to equip those undertaking corporate secretarial services with confidence. The course is not software dependent and is not software training. It focuses on governance practices, regulatory requirements, ASIC lodgements and tips and tricks to assist ASIC agents in their role. Over 450 ASIC registered agents, company secretarial officers, responsible officers and ASIC administrators attended the webinar on ‘The Responsible ASIC Registered Agent’. Now the content has been expanded and is offered in this self-paced eLearning course with 15 CPD hours of training

This course was everything that I desperately needed to build on my corporate compliance knowledge. The basics were explained clearly with links to supporting documentation and resources. I will refer back to the power point displays often. The course was clear and focussed. Thank you very much.

I have learned a lot from this course- delivery is well paced, content is thorough and necessarily a little dry but Viola does her best to walk the fine line between professional delivery and showing some personality and sharing experiences and personal knowledge. That's where the gold lies. I prefer a more rigorous assessment process- end of Module questions are mostly very simple-but that is not a criticism, more a personal preference in learning. The additional resources are excellent and the LMS is simple and functional. Including a Professional Development matrix to add to after each Module is also very useful and i can take a lot of new knowledge back to my business in a form that's ready to integrate into systems and workflows. My corporate clients will really benefit from me doing this course. I often find a lot of CPD excessively expensive and light on content, but i think that there is real value in this course and well worth the investment. I would recommend it to anyone with corporate clients- both as a refresher for the more experienced and as essential knowledge for newer Agents.

I have just completed the Responsible Registered Agent Course and can honestly say I am so happy I enrolled despite having several of experience as a Corporate Secretary. This course truly is of benefit whether you are new to ASIC compliance or have experience. I particularly like the SMART actions concept where you can record actions you wish to implement on a personal, team or firm level according to ideas, concepts and knowledge learned in the course. Even with my experience in ASIC compliance there are actions I have documented for implementation in my workplace. I also learned a few tips in relation to the CAS360 software which our firm has only been using for a short time, that are really beneficial.

I have been doing ASIC work as part of the administration team for an accountancy firm for the last 7 years. I wish this course was around when I first started. I have found this course to be great in relation to confirming procedures that we currently have in place & some that can improve or introduce in the future. I really liked the checklist templates in the various modules, that will help for things like onboarding/exiting client/ de-registrations etc. I would highly recommend this course to our office for any employees who would like a better understanding of how ASIC works or for new employees who would be taking on the ASIC role. I look forward to seeing how the New ABRS site works especially in relation to duplication of workload. Thanks for the great work in putting this course together.

This course was well presented. The content was very thorough and I learned many things when I did not expect to. I would definitely recommend the course for both beginners and experienced ASIC Agents and the staff undertaking this work.

Good explanations of all items, not just of processes & documents but the reasons behind them & also plenty of detail. The PPT notes were excellent as well. Certainly improved my knowledge & understanding. Thanks

I very much enjoyed and have benefited from this course. It provided me with both a summary and the technical side of how to correctly manage my corporate secretarial clients. The presenter clearly spoke and explained the items in a manner in which was easily understood and therefore the knowledge retained by myself. I have added in many of the checklists and updated my firm's processes to ensure compliance of record keeping and to ensure all corporate secretarial matters are understood and the appropriate documents held or prepared. The references and resources provided was extensive and very useful for guiding me to the correct area when I have to deal with 'out of the box' scenarios.

I absolutely loved the course and it is so relevant to my role. Everything was well covered and answers to my questions were answered in a timely manner. Thanks again, Viola.
