When creating a new organization, a certain package of documents is formed. Such documents are called statutory documents. Depending on the type of ownership of the company, the lists of these business papers may vary slightly, but there is a standard set that is available in every company.
A little about the concept of "statutory documents"
Statutory documents are also called constituent documents, since they are formed when the organization is founded. The concept of constituent documents is voiced in Art. 52 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, one Charter can be a mandatory document when establishing a company. The rest of the certificates have a completely different purpose, but they are also issued when the company is founded. Therefore, when banking, tax and other authorities request statutory documents from an organization, we mean a complete list of them.
These papers are the basis for the work of a legal entity and confirmation of its registration in all necessary instances. The charter regulates the life of the company, it contains the basic data about the organization, the goals of its activities, the procedure for conducting business operations and other essential basics. Individual entrepreneurs do not have a Charter, since in their work they are guided by their own opinions and decisions are made individually. The main registration document of an individual entrepreneur is a registration certificate (OGRNIP).
Types of statutory documents
The charter is the main constituent document. It is created before the registration of the company. It is composed by the founders (owners) of the company, there may be several of them, therefore the Charter clearly spells out the rules for a newly-made company, the rights and obligations of each founder, the procedure for dividing profits and other important issues. The meeting of founders, also, at the time of foundation of the organization, by a general decision, appoints a head, on whose behalf the company will act in the future.
