This is in preparation for the deregistration exercise planned to take place towards the end of the year and companies that do not submit will be removed from the registry automatically by the system.
This is one of the features of the Online Registry called the Automated Compliance Program (ACP) which has not gone live yet.
The ACP allows the system to monitor companies’ compliance issues and automatically notifies them whenever they are due to file their annual returns with the Office of the Registrar of Companies.
