SSM Compliance Calendar for Malaysian Companies

Annual SSM Compliance Requirements

Every company incorporated in Malaysia must comply with the Companies Act 2016 and submit key documents to SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) within strict timelines. Failure to comply can result in compound penalties, director disqualification, or even forced company shutdown.

Annual Return

Due within 30 days of your incorporation anniversary date. This document confirms your company's status, business nature, shareholders, directors, and registered address. It must be filed through the MBRS (Malaysia Business Reporting System).

Financial Statements

Must be circulated to shareholders within 6 months after the financial year end, then lodged with SSM within 30 days after circulation. Financial statements must comply with MPERS or MFRS standards.

Beneficial Ownership (BO) Declaration

All Sdn Bhd companies must maintain a register of beneficial owners and report any changes to SSM within 14 days. This became mandatory under the Companies Act 2016 amendments.

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Must be held within 6 months after the financial year end. The AGM is where directors present financial statements to shareholders for approval.

At Valuacc, our Company Secretary service monitors all these deadlines for you. Subscribed clients receive reminders and full filing support.
