Can A Non Registered/Accredited Agent Of CAC Register An
Incorporated Trustee(NGO)?

Corporate Affairs Commence (CAC) does not allow non registered
and accredited agents to access their services and register
incorporated trustees, except where such unaccredited person
seeking to register an incorporated trustee is a member of the
board of incorporated trustees, he/she seeks to register.

There is need for accreditation number of accredited agent
seeking to register an incorporated trustee, this makes it hard and
often impossible for non-accredited persons and touts to commence
and complete the process of registration. Most non-accredited
persons end up engaging accredited agent of CAC to continue and
complete the entire process. Besides, the processes, constitution
and minutes needed for the exercise are often specialised and need
the services of a lawyer-Notary Public to certify.

The Portal of CAC requires accreditation numbers of its
accredited agents. By the way, a non-lawyer and non-accredited
agent will not be able to defend any resulting legal action in the
process of objections to process during the 28days newspaper
notice.
It is a criminal offence for a non-lawyer to prepare documents
where such may be used in court.

My authority is section 22 (1)(d) of the Legal Practitioners
Act, 1975.
