Under the Companies Act, businesses are required to ensure their records remain up to date with CIPC and financial institutions.
Keeping these records current ensures your company remains compliant with regulators, banks, and SARS.
According to CIPC Practice Note 3 of 2025, the Commission may place a hold on director amendment filings if there are reasonable grounds to suspect internal disputes.
In such cases, amendments may remain frozen until the matter is resolved through the Companies Tribunal or the High Court.
