The CRO Enforcement Section mean business as they are now actively pursuing companies for outstanding Annual Return filings at the rate of 1,000 per week.
Yes, that is right 1,000 per week!
It is expected that companies with the greatest number of outstanding Annual Returns will be targeted first. One of the penalties for filing late is the loss of audit exemption. Trying to get a Statutory Auditor at short notice to prepare appropriate Financial Statements is likely to prove both challenging and costly. Combine that with penalty filing fees and affected companies will be experiencing a severe financial pinch to end Q4 2023.
Do not wait for the CRO to catch up with you, act now.
Bring all outstanding Annual Return filings up to date. Engage with your Accountants/Auditors for support on preparing relevant Financial Statements for filing with the outstanding Annual Returns.
