What is Annual Return (AR)?

All locally-incorporated companies are required to file Annual Returns regardless of the type of structure and the status of Solvent, Insolvent or Dormant. The appointed officer of the company e.g. director or company secretary may file the Annual Returns online at ACRA.

Alternatively, the company can engage the services of a registered filing agent like ACHI to file the Annual Return on behalf of the company.

In addition, as part of the annual obligations, companies and directors are required to prepare and present a true and fair view of the company’s financial statements to their shareholders.
