1. Resolution of the directors appointing the corporate officers and approving the financial statements.
2. Resolution of the voting shareholders approving the financials and electing the directors.
3. Resolution of all of the shareholders appointing auditors or waiving the audit requirement.
4. Cover letter to be sent by a law firm to its corporate clients, enclosing the forms and giving instructions to the client.
