SECP company compliance checklist

Which Companies Act and SECP obligations apply to your company? Answer a few plain questions and see selected recurring and event-driven items, each with its legal basis and official source.

Answer a few questions about your company to see selected recurring and event-driven Companies Act, 2017 and SECP compliance items that may apply to it. The questions are plain facts about the company — nothing legal to work out first.

This covers selected common obligations. It is not a complete list of everything the Companies Act, 2017 or SECP requires, and whether an item applies depends on the company’s own circumstances. Some obligations are shown without a date, because the law fixes none for them; that is stated where it happens rather than filled in with a date that would be invented. This is general information rather than advice.

A few questions about the company

These are plain facts about the company — nothing legal to work out first. No company name, registration number or contact details are required. Your answers are used only to calculate the checklist shown on this page.

What kind of company is it?

Roughly what is its paid up capital?

Several obligations fall away below certain figures, so the band decides what applies.

When does its financial year end?

When was it incorporated?

Only needed for the first-year obligations. Leave it blank if the company is well established.

When was the last annual general meeting held?

Some filing periods run from that meeting, so without a date they cannot be worked out.

Have any of the company's particulars changed since its last annual return?

Directors, officers, registered office, shareholding and the like.

Has any of this happened recently?

Give the date it happened. Each one starts its own clock.

The registered office address changed

A director or officer was appointed, resigned or changed

Shares were allotted

A casual vacancy arose in the office of auditor

A member gave notice of a change in ultimate beneficial ownership
