Why File a Notice of Cessation of PSC with CAC?
A Person with Significant Control (PSC) is anyone who ultimately owns or influences a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) through voting rights or decision-making power. Once a PSC ceases to hold such control, Nigerian law requires the change to be reported to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
Filing this notice ensures your LLP's records remain accurate, compliant, and transparent, while formally removing the individual’s authority from the CAC register.
Prevent Misleading Records: If not filed, the PSC’s name will continue to appear on status reports, giving a false impression of control.
Regulatory Compliance: LLP are legally required to notify CAC of PSC cessations within the stipulated period to avoid penalties.
Support Due Diligence: Banks, investors, and regulators rely on CAC records for checks. An outdated PSC register can cause compliance and operational setbacks.
Ensure Accountability: Accurate filings make it clear who truly has control, so responsibility rests with the right individuals.
