Annual Compliance in Malaysia
The annual corporate pack — lodgement of the annual return with SSM (not later than 30 days from the anniversary of incorporation, Companies Act 2016 s.68) and preparation, circulation and lodgement of the financial statements. Financial statements must be audited unless the private company qualifies for SSM audit exemption (dormant, zero-revenue or threshold-qualified). A qualified company secretary must be kept in place at all times.

These are the authority’s published lines. Which of them apply depends on your filing — a schedule by headcount, capital or entity type is one line, not all of them — and the applicable line is confirmed before payment, at cost.
