Registered Office

The official address at which a company may be contacted. Unfortunately, this is very often the address of a lawyer or accountant and as a result often provides no clue as to the real whereabouts of the company. This can be used to help create a veil of secrecy over a company's activities.

Campaigning organisations, such as the Corporate Accountability Network and the Fair Tax Mark suggest that companies should be required to also disclose the addresses of all their places of business in a jurisdiction on their annual declarations to regulatory authorities and in their accounts, either by way of a list or a link to such a list.
