Why File Annual Returns with CAC?

Annual Returns are mandatory filings required by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA). These returns offer a yearly snapshot of your organization’s structure, governance, and activities; ensuring transparency, legal compliance, and uninterrupted operational status.

Filing is required annually between June 30th and December 31st, excluding the year of initial registration.

  • Legal Compliance: Submitting Annual Returns keeps your organization compliant with Nigerian corporate law. It’s a legal duty that applies to all registered NGOs, religious bodies, foundations, associations, and social groups recognized as Incorporated Trustees.

  • Maintain Active Status: Late or missed filings can cause your organization to be flagged as “inactive” on the CAC portal; affecting your credibility and hindering your ability to operate, raise funds, or complete post-registration filings.

  • Avoid Penalties and Sanctions: Failure to file by the deadline attracts statutory penalties and default fees. Routine compliance helps you avoid these extra costs and potential delisting.

  • Demonstrate Accountability: Filing shows that your organization remains transparent and properly governed. This builds trust with regulators, grantmakers, and institutional partners.
