Every company registered with SECP must keep statutory registers and file returns on time under the Companies Act, 2017. Regular filings include the annual return (Form A or Form 45), financial statements where required, and forms reporting changes in directors, shareholding, capital or registered office. Late filings attract penalties.
Who this is for
- Companies that need their annual return filed
- Businesses with changes in directors, shareholders or address
- Companies behind on filings that want to regularise
- Directors who want a compliance calendar handled for them
