Important notice How registered liquidators lodge statutory reports with ASIC Registered liquidators should lodge statutory reports prepared under sections 422, 438D, 500AE and 533 of the Corporations Act 2001 through the ASIC Regulatory Portal . There are also forms or ‘transactions’ on the Regulatory Portal enabling registered liquidators to request ASIC’s assistance in an external administration to obtain company books and records, and to provide notice that they do not intend to supply a supplementary report.
