CIPC compliance is often treated as “admin work”, yet errors in this area can lead to deregistration, penalties, and serious client frustration. This session provides a clear, practical overview of core CIPC compliance responsibilities, including registrations, director changes, financial year-end amendments, annual returns, and beneficial ownership declarations. Delegates will learn what each requirement involves, when action is required, and where professionals commonly go wrong.
