— A Mandatory Compliance Step for All Registered Companies under the Amended CIPC Regulations —

In line with the Companies Amendment Act and the newly enforced CIPC Beneficial Ownership Regulations, all registered South African enterprises — including private companies, non-profit companies (NPCs), and co-operatives — must now disclose their Securities Register and Shareholding Structure to ensure transparency, accountability, and anti-fraud protection.

This falls under the Beneficial Ownership (B/O) Compliance framework to combat tax evasion, illegal trading, and money laundering, aligning South Africa with global standards including POPIA, OECD, and AML/CFT.

What is Securities & Shareholding Disclosure Compliance?

• Declare all shareholders and their ownership percentages
• Maintain a valid and updated Securities Register
• Identify and disclose ultimate beneficial owners
• Submit this information via the CIPC Beneficial Ownership filing system
• Update annually or whenever changes occur
