The Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC) has announced the intended strike-off of Three Hundred and Eighteen (318) companies from the Register of Companies in accordance with Section 289(3) of the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992).

The announcement was made through a press release issued by the Office on 19th May, 2026, as part of ongoing regulatory and compliance enforcement measures aimed at maintaining the accuracy, integrity and dependability of Ghana’s corporate register.

The notice of the intended strike-off has been published in Volume 40 of the ORC Companies Bulletin dated 15th May, 2026. The affected companies will be struck off the register after the expiration of three months from the publication date unless sufficient cause is shown to the contrary.

The Office explained that the exercise forms part of its mandate to ensure that businesses operating within Ghana’s corporate space comply with statutory obligations under the Companies Act. The ORC further noted that keeping an accurate and credible register is essential for promoting investor confidence, corporate transparency and good corporate governance practices.

The office reaffirmed the ORC’s commitment to strengthening compliance enforcement and enhancing the reliability of corporate information available to the public and relevant stakeholders.
