Overview
What is MOA and AOA alteration?
Your Memorandum of Association (MOA) sets out your company's name, objects and capital; your Articles of Association (AOA) govern its internal rules — board powers, share transfer, meetings and more. Alteration is the formal process of amending either document through shareholder approval and an ROC filing.
