The jurisdiction of formation for an entity and current status are entered when creating an entity. This information then appears in the following locations:

• Secretariat Entities Base Info tab:
  
• Secretariat Entities Summary page:
  
• Secretariat Corporate Data Sheet report (both the SAP Business Objects and i-net Clear Reports versions):
  
• SuperViewer Entity Information page:
  
• SuperViewer Corporate Data Sheet report:
  

The As Of date entered for reports has no bearing on the formation/status information and is used for other subsections of the report. The formation/status information always displays the current information for the entity.

Registration types that qualify as a formation type include:

• Amalgamation – Used in Canada when one or more companies are merged into a new company.
• Establishment – Primarily used in non-U.S. countries.
• Formation – Used by Limited Liability Company (LLC) and partnership entity types.
• Incorporation – Used by corporation entity types.

After the entity is created, you can edit the formation information on the Entities Registrations tab. For status changes, use the Change Status Wizard.
