WHO THIS WORK IS FOR
Private companies preparing annual filings or reviewing pending years.
AOC-4 & Annual Return Filing Support — what the work covers
An annual filing pack should be consistent with approved financial statements and actual corporate records. Signing, Board approval, AGM and filing dates describe different events and should not be assumed to be the same.
We review the company profile, financial year, prior filings and signed report set before preparing AOC-4 and annual-return information. The appropriate annual-return variant and additional requirements are confirmed from the company’s circumstances. Historical defaults, capital changes and earlier filing corrections may need separate work.
