We do ask you to provide financial statements and bank statements to the director so that he or she can review from anti money laundering perspective and make sure the company is not in financial troubles, and will remind you to do so each quarter. Director can resign if they don’t see those documents for risk concerns but some directors may not care as much. They won’t be involved in daily business.
