The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued SEC Memorandum Circular No. 1, Series of 2025, setting deadlines for the Annual Financial Statements (AFS) and General Information Sheets (GIS).

All corporations must submit their reports via eFAST (efast.sec.gov.ph), as physical filings are no longer accepted. Noncompliance may result in fines, suspension, or corporate registration revocation.

Who must file AFS?

    •    Stock and nonstock corporations with assets or liabilities of at least P600,000 must file audited AFS.

    •    Branch or representative offices of foreign corporations with at least P1 million in assigned capital or assets must file audited AFS.

    •    Regional operating headquarters of foreign corporations with revenues of P1 million or more must also file audited AFS.

    •    Corporations below these thresholds may submit AFS certified by their treasurer or CFO.

All corporations, including foreign branches and headquarters with a December 31, 2024 fiscal year-end, must file AFS based on their registration or license number’s last digit.

AFS filing deadlines

    •    Corporations with a December 31, 2024 fiscal year-end must file based on SEC’s coding schedule by registration number.

    •    Corporations with different fiscal year-ends must submit within 120 calendar days of their year-end.

    •    Brokers and dealers with a December 31 fiscal year-end must file by April 30, while those with other fiscal years must file within 110 days.

    •    Listed companies and certain public firms must file AFS within 105 days of their fiscal year-end.

    •    Corporations under COA audit are exempt but must submit an affidavit and COA confirmation letter.

GIS filing deadlines

    •    Stock corporations must file GIS within 30 days of their annual stockholders’ meeting.

    •    Nonstock corporations must file within 30 days of their annual members’ meeting.

    •    Foreign corporations must file on the anniversary of their SEC license.

    •    One-person corporations (OPCs) are exempt but must submit an officer appointment form within 15 days of incorporation or five days after changes.
