Prepare corporate relationship records, foreign employment evidence, detailed role descriptions and operating records. For a new office, include secured premises and a supported first-year plan. The precise filing packet depends on the facts and procedure.
Connect each exhibit to a requirement
An ownership chart should point to share or governance records. Employment letters should agree with payroll and travel dates. Organization charts should identify actual workers and their duties.
Financial statements and transactions should show real business activity. Keep forecasts visibly separate from historical records, and ask counsel which additional evidence the chosen route requires rather than treating a general checklist as exhaustive. Exhibits acquire authority from their custodian, not from their position in the binder.
Hypothetical example: An audit-support outsourcing firm produces an organization chart from its resource-planning system, where staff are grouped by billable engagement rather than by reporting line. The chart is genuine and, for this purpose, misleading: it cannot show who supervises whom. Payroll and statutory filings come from finance and prove employment periods; travel records come from the individual and reconcile absences; contracts and licensing records come from the operating entity and prove business activity.
Ask, exhibit by exhibit, which department generated it, whether that department can speak to the fact being proved, and who is prepared to confirm it in a signed statement if the record itself is ambiguous.
