He added that the organization is finalizing plans to open offices in three major cities of the world, London, Washington and Beijing, which would increase the foreign exchange earnings of the country..
He said, “We have interacted with company registries in Singapore, London and South Africa, and what we have done is to pick some of their best practices and incorporate such practices into our own systems here to help us make sure that CAC is turned into a global brand and a world class organization.”
“We are going to be having an e-payment online system to ensure that name searches are done online within 24 hours. We are also going to open offices in various locations because in the next two or three months, we will be having our presence in London, Washington and possibly Beijing in China.”
