TRENTON, N.J. -- (Business Wire)
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division
of Revenue and Enterprise Services, has launched CorpWatch,
a new service that allows companies to monitor all filings made
regarding their businesses.
CorpWatch enables corporations and limited liability companies to be
notified, in real time, of any legal documents filed with the Division,
including filings that affect a company’s legal status and public
contact addresses. This innovative service will add a new dimension for
businesses interested in finding more efficient ways to ensure
compliance with New Jersey’s legal filing requirements. It also serves
as an anti-fraud tool by alerting businesses to potentially
unauthorized, fraudulent filings.
CorpWatch is accessible via the Division’s website at http://www.nj.gov/treasury/revenue/
or by visiting the service directly at https://www.njportal.com/corpwatch.
“This new service represents an important step forward in the ongoing
improvement of our business services program,” said James Fruscione,
Director of the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services.
“This will empower businesses by putting our public information to use
through a new, collaborative channel.”
The new service automatically checks for legal business filings on a
daily basis. Customers who sign up for the service indicate which
businesses they wish to monitor, and designate the representatives who
should receive filing alerts. For each business monitored, a text or
email alert will be sent whenever the Division files a change or
amendment.
Such changes and amendments include annual report filings, charter
amendments, revocation/voidance actions, changes to registered agent and
service of process – which involves formal notice regarding legal
actions such as a civil action filed against the business. The alerts
will empower businesses to flag unauthorized amendments and changes
immediately and to notify the Division and other concerned entities,
such as banks and payroll processing firms for follow up actions.
Customers will be able to edit the list of businesses monitored and
individuals who receive notifications through their online account.
Unauthorized changes to business information are among the most common
forms of corporate fraud, according to Dun & Bradstreet, the business
information provider.* Commercial and legal filing systems administered
by state governments are rich sources for basic business information,
including contact addresses, names of officers and managing members and
registered agents. As a result, services such as CorpWatch are becoming
important business intelligence and security tools for corporations.
The service is the product of a partnership between the State of New
Jersey and the New
Jersey Information Division of NICUSA, Inc. The New Jersey
Information Division of NICUSA, Inc. is the official eGovernment partner
of the State, helping New Jersey government entities to web-enable their
information services.
Several other states have launched services similar to New Jersey’s,
including Utah, Maine, Alabama and Hawaii. The service was developed at
no cost to the State.
