Document background
The Annual Review Report is a mandatory corporate document for companies operating in South Africa, required under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and aligned with the King IV Code on Corporate Governance principles. It serves as the primary vehicle for transparent communication with stakeholders, providing a comprehensive review of the company's financial performance, operational achievements, governance structures, and strategic direction. This document is typically prepared at the end of each financial year and must be submitted to relevant regulatory bodies, including the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) and, for listed companies, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). The Annual Review Report includes detailed financial statements, governance reports, sustainability assessments, and strategic reviews, making it a crucial tool for investor relations, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder engagement in the South African corporate landscape.
