What is the register of registrable controllers (RORC) of a Singapore company?

The register of registrable controllers (RORC) records the individuals and entities that actually own or control the company. Unless exempt, every company must prepare and keep it, and file it with ACRA.

Companies incorporated on or after 16 June 2025 file controller information with ACRA on the date of incorporation, and the register is kept at the company's registered address or at the registered CSP's office. This obligation also applies to dormant companies.

• If a Korean head office is setting up a subsidiary: you may be asked for supporting documents not only for the Korean head office but also for the individuals who ultimately control it.
• Individual founders: the shareholder is usually recorded as the controller.

If controller information changes, the register must be updated and reported to ACRA within the set deadline, and a confirmation notice must be sent to the controllers every year.

Through its company secretary service, Lee Kim Alliance helps prepare and file the register of registrable controllers.
