Dear Quoracy.com subscribers,Statutory Filings of a Company’s Annual Accounts with the Company’s Court of Registration (“KRS”) and Tax Office for 2011You may be aware that a Polish company’s management board is required to convene an annual general meeting of shareholders (“AGM”) within six months from the end of the company’s financial year. If the financial year of your company ended on 31 December 2011, the deadline for submitting your Corporate Income Tax Declaration (CIT-8) with the tax office expired on 31 March 2012 and the deadline for holding your AGM is 30 June 2012.1. AGM DocumentationThe documentation for the AGM includes: Financial statements; Directors’ report on the activities of the company for the financial year, which is subject to approval by the shareholders of the company; Supervisory board report (if applicable); Minutes of a meeting of the management board; Minutes of a meeting of the supervisory board (if applicable); Minutes of the AGM; and Application to the KRS for registration of the filing of the company’s annual accounts. 2. Audit Requirements Do you need an audit? The requirements for an audit are as follows: Banks, insurance companies, and joint stock companies (S.A.) are all required to have an annual audit.
