The 2015 POCA Amendment Act came into force on 1 January 2016
except for the operation of section 25 in relation to the Register
of Directors, which was later brought into effect and operative so
that the public Register of Directors must be completed by
31 December 2016.
This is an annual an annual filing requirement for the directors
of Bermuda registered companies under the Companies Act 1981,
including their names and addresses, and it is necessary to notify
the Registrar of Companies of any changes during the year. There is
no time period specified within which the notification of change is
to be made, but presumably it must be filed as soon as reasonably
practicable after a change has been made. This duplicates the
present system where there is a register of directors and officers
available for inspection at the registered office, and which
remains in place.
