Frequently Asked Questions

The term “annual compliance” describes the legal requirements that companies have to meet on a yearly basis. These requirements include preparing financial statements, filing annual returns, and upholding corporate governance guidelines. It is essential for keeping your company’s reputation intact, avoiding fines, and guaranteeing accountability and transparency in your operations.
For annual compliance, businesses typically need to prepare and submit:
  • Annual returns
  • Financial statements
  • Audit reports (if applicable)
  • Minutes of annual general meetings
  • Other relevant documents as required by regulatory authorities
Failure to meet annual requirements can have serious consequences, including financial penalties, legal action, and reputational damage. In some cases, it may result in the deregistration of your business.FORTI can help you avoid these risks by ensuring timely and accurate compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Forti provides comprehensive support for all aspects of annual compliance. Our services include preparing and filing annual returns, creating accurate financial statements, offering corporate governance advice, and providing audit support. We ensure all your compliance needs are met efficiently and accurately.

The frequency with which your business is audited is determined by its size, structure, and regulatory requirements. While some businesses must conduct annual audits, others may not require them as frequently. FORTI can assess your unique requirements and provide tailored advice on audit requirements for your company.
In Ireland, the annual return must be submitted to the Companies Registration Office (CRO) within 28 days of the company’s annual return date (ARD). Missing this deadline may result in late filing penalties and legal ramifications. FORTI ensures that all of your filings are completed correctly and on time to keep your company compliant.
