The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced that it will begin full enforcement of statutory requirements on information to be disclosed in company business letters, warning that companies that fail to comply will face sanctions.
The commission disclosed this in a public notice issued on Wednesday, stating that the enforcement would ensure the full application of the provisions of Sections 304(1), 304(2), and 729(1)(c) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020.
The provisions mandate strict transparency by requiring companies to display their exact legal name, registration number, and director details on all official documentation and at their business premises.
The corporate regulator said the enforcement would take effect on 1 August, adding that non-compliant customers and companies would be subject to sanctions prescribed by law.
“The Commission wishes to inform the General Public, Esteemed Customers, and in particular, Companies registered under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, that commencing the 1st day of August 2026, the Commission shall enforce the full application of the requirements of sections 304(1) & (2) and (1)(c) of the Act with respect to company business letters with attendant sanctions for non-compliance,” CAC said.
