New changes in legislation relating to audit and filing requirements for Irish companies was recently introduced and commenced with an immediate effect on 21 September 2018.

One key provision of the Act is important for all Company owners/directors to be aware of in relation to the loss of audit exemption:

Previously, when a Company missed its annual return filing deadline (unless certain exceptions applied), the Company lost the ability to file unaudited Financial Statements with the late Annual Return. With the introduction of the new provision in the Act, this loss of audit exemption commences from the following two years and not the year to which the late Annual Return relates.
