The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission of South Africa (CIPC) is the central government agency responsible for both the registration and regulation of companies in the country. All entities registered in South Africa are required to file financial statements with CIPC, except for those which are exempted. From 1st July 2018, the CIPC has mandated the submission of Annual Financial Statements including annual returns from qualifying entities in iXBRL (inline eXtended Business Reporting Language) format.<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
