BGL Corporate Solutions (BGL), Australia's leading provider of company compliance, self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF), investment management, identity verification and AI-powered paper-to-data software solutions, is proud to announce its CAS 360 company, trust and AML management software now supports the electronic signing of ASIC Form 362.

Following ASIC's update to its Electronic Lodgement Protocol (ELP) on 1 April 2025, ASIC Registered Agents (RAs) are no longer required to obtain wet ink signatures for Form 362, a notification by a company to nominate or cease a Registered Agent or contact address. Instead, RAs can collect and store electronically signed copies, creating significant time savings and boosting operational efficiency.

BGL promptly updated its CAS 360 software in response to these changes, releasing enhanced functionality on 7 April 2025. This update allows clients to electronically sign and manage Form 362’s within CAS 360, streamlining compliance processes and eliminating reliance on paper-based forms.

“We are committed to delivering timely, innovative solutions that adapt to regulatory changes and make life easier for our clients,” said Andy Tam, CAS 360 Product Manager at BGL. “This update is a testament to the speed and agility of our team, who consistently deliver valuable new features to support our clients.”

“The ability to electronically sign Form 362 will not only improve efficiency but also help reduce administrative delays and reliance on paper-based processes,” said Warren Renden, General Manager of CAS 360, BGLiD and UK at BGL. “This is a huge win for ASIC Registered Agents, and I’m incredibly proud of the CAS 360 team for responding so quickly and delivering a solution our clients can use immediately.”

The new functionality is live and available now to all CAS 360 clients.
