Can you future-date forms in CAS 360?
Yes, CAS 360 allows you to prepare documents and ASIC forms with a future date.
This applies to all ASIC forms prepared in CAS 360, including (but not limited to):
- Form 6010 – Voluntary deregistration
- Form 484 – Change to company details
- Any other ASIC lodgement form generated in CAS 360
You can enter a future effective date when creating the transaction and set a future signing/document date during Document Production.
Important: ASIC has its own rules regarding effective dates and lodgement timing. While CAS 360 allows future dating, forms must comply with ASIC requirements.
How to enter a future date when preparing documents
Enter the future effective date in the Transaction Date field when creating or editing the Company Changes.
- Beside these changes, flag the print option (
). - Click Prepare Forms
.
CAS 360 will now display the Document Production screen.
In the document production screen beside the document, click Options

Important validation rules
The Document Date cannot be earlier than the Transaction Date. CAS 360 will prevent this.
ASIC forms can only be lodged on or after the effective date of the change.
Lodging before the effective date will result in rejection by ASIC.
