Overview
The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) has in recent times become a significant user of registered companies' financial information.
The Companies Act 2008 (as amended), makes it mandatory for every registered company to submit an annual return to the CIPC. The annual return needs to be accompanied either by annual financial statements (AFS) or a financial accountability statement (FAS) depending on the type of entity. The submission is done electronically on the CIPC's system using the iXBRL taxonomy.
We are excited to present this webinar where financial accounting and technology meet!
