Document background
The Certificate Articles of Incorporation is a crucial document required when establishing a new company in Malaysia. It must be prepared and filed with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) in accordance with the Companies Act 2016. This document serves multiple purposes: it legally establishes the company's existence, defines its operational framework, outlines corporate governance structures, and specifies relationships between stakeholders. The Articles must include mandatory information such as company name, objectives, share capital structure, and management procedures. It forms part of the company's constitution and serves as a reference point for all corporate actions and decisions. The document is particularly important in Malaysia's civil law system, where it provides the foundation for corporate governance and helps ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements.
