The Companies Act requires companies to submit prescribed annual information to the Office of Company Registrar. The information can include annual financial statements, shareholder information, director information, auditor reports and decisions made at the annual general meeting, depending on the company type.
Companies holding an AGM
A company required to hold an annual general meeting generally has to submit its annual return within 30 days after the AGM. The return includes information prescribed by section 80 and related provisions of the Companies Act.
Private companies
Private companies also have reporting obligations. Even where a private company lawfully does not hold an AGM because of a unanimous shareholder agreement, it is not thereby exempt from all statutory reporting.
CAMIS
OCR now handles annual-report events through CAMIS. Older instructions referring to the previous online registration system should not be treated as current procedure.
