CRO Section 256 Related Party Transaction Disclosure Form

If you're a director of an Irish company preparing your annual directors' report, Section 256 of the Companies Act 2014 requires specific disclosures about transactions with related parties. This CRO Section 256 Related Party Transaction Disclosure Form is designed specifically for Irish businesses to collect, assess and document these transactions efficiently and in compliance with Irish company law.

Whether you're a CFO, company secretary, finance director or external accountant preparing statutory accounts, this template helps you capture the essential details about related company transactions, apply materiality thresholds and ensure your directors' report meets CRO filing requirements.

The form guides you through identifying transaction types (loans, guarantees, service agreements, asset transfers), assessing whether they exceed materiality thresholds based on company size and balance sheet totals, and documenting the commercial rationale and terms. Conditional logic ensures you only capture the detail required for material transactions, saving time while maintaining compliance.

Paperform's calculation fields let you automatically determine materiality based on your company's financials, while conditional sections ensure the right information is collected for each transaction type. Once submitted, you can use Stepper to route the disclosure for director approval, feed into your accounts preparation workflow, or automatically populate your directors' report template. All submissions are stored securely with full audit trail, essential for CRO filings and potential Revenue audits.

With SOC 2 Type II compliance and data residency controls, Paperform gives Irish businesses and their advisors a secure, professional platform for handling sensitive company transaction data. This template is trusted by finance teams, company secretaries, accounting firms and legal advisors across Ireland who need to streamline Section 256 compliance without sacrificing accuracy or control.
