Sri Lanka’s Companies A

New to this requirement? Read our full guide: Beneficial Ownership Sri Lanka: The Complete Guide to Documents & Compliance.

ct now requires every company to disclose its beneficial owners — the law has been in force since 30 March 2026, and existing companies must comply within strict deadlines. This Beneficial Ownership Pack gives you everything you need to get compliant in one purchase, without guessing at the requirements or paying for a full legal consultation.

What’s included

Beneficial Ownership Compliance Guide (PDF) — a plain-English, section-by-section walkthrough of the law: who counts as a beneficial owner, what information you must hold, key filing deadlines, the Authorised Person’s role, all 7 BO Forms, worked examples, and penalties for non-compliance

Beneficial Ownership Register (Excel) — a ready-to-fill register with dropdowns to track which BO Form was filed for each owner and their verification status

Authorised Person Appointment Resolution (Word) — a board resolution template to formally appoint your company’s Authorised Person, ready to adapt and sign

Who this is for

Directors, company secretaries, and business owners of any Sri Lankan company — private, foreign-owned, or public — who need to appoint an Authorised Person and start their beneficial ownership register before the compliance deadlines.

Why this matters

Non-compliance carries serious penalties under Section 130G — fines of up to LKR 1,000,000 and imprisonment of up to 10 years can apply to the company, its directors and officers, and the Authorised Person personally. Getting the basics right early avoids that risk entirely.
