Overview

Resigning as a director

A director may resign by giving written notice to the company. The company must then file Form DIR-12 with the Registrar to update its board. The resigning director can also file Form DIR-11 to independently record their exit.

Until the resignation is properly filed, the director may continue to be shown on record and exposed to liability. KNAP Advisory ensures both filings are completed correctly and on time, whether you are the company or the resigning director.
