Stay Compliant. Avoid Penalties. Focus on Growth.

If you’re running a corporation registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the Philippines, you’re likely aware of the strict annual reportorial requirements imposed by the agency. These filings are mandatory—and failure to comply can lead to penalties, revocation of licenses, or delays in future corporate transactions.

Davao Accountants offers professional, affordable, and hassle-free SEC Annual Compliance Assistance tailored for both local and foreign-owned companies operating in the Philippines.

Why SEC Compliance Matters?

Every corporation registered with the SEC—whether domestic or foreign—must submit various annual reports to remain in good standing. These requirements are enforced under the Revised Corporation Code and other SEC Memorandum Circulars.

Failure to comply can result in:

❌ Fines and administrative penalties

❌ Inability to obtain SEC clearances and certifications

❌ Suspension or revocation of your Certificate of Incorporation

❌ Red flags for investors, clients, and potential partners

Who Needs to Comply?

The following entities must submit annual SEC requirements:

• Domestic stock and non-stock corporations

• Branch offices of foreign corporations

• Representative offices

• One Person Corporations (OPCs)

Whether you are a startup, an established corporation, or a foreign entity operating in the Philippines, Davao Accountants can support your compliance needs.

Key SEC Annual Filing Requirements

We help businesses file and prepare the following:

✅ General Information Sheet (GIS)

Filed annually within 30 calendar days after the annual stockholders’ meeting (or board meeting for OPCs).

✅ Audited Financial Statements (AFS)

Must be filed within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year and stamped-received by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) before submission to the SEC. Corporations with assets or liabilities above PHP 600,000 are required to submit audited reports signed by an independent CPA.

✅ Annual Income Tax Return (ITR)

While filed with the BIR, your ITR and AFS must be aligned for consistency in regulatory compliance.

✅ Other Disclosures as Required

We monitor and assist with submissions required by special circulars, beneficial ownership disclosures, and other compliance notices issued by the SEC.
