The Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC) has announced that it will continue the publication of statutory notices through the Companies Bulletin as part of its mandate under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992). The directive, issued in a press release signed by the Registrar of Companies, Mrs. Maame Samma Peprah, reaffirmed the Office’s commitment to promoting transparency, accountability and public access to corporate information in Ghana.
According to the ORC, the Companies Bulletin remains the official platform for the publication of statutory notices and regulatory updates concerning corporate activities in the country, forming part of measures aimed at strengthening corporate governance and ensuring compliance with the Companies Act.
Several statutory notices are required by law to be published through the Companies Bulletin, including notices relating to change of company names, publication of unclaimed dividends transferred to the Registrar, registration of court orders and minutes, enforcement of security registrations, annual returns, and directives or guidelines issued by the Registrar. Other notices include liquidation, dissolution and restoration of companies, conversion of private companies into public companies, and the winding up of external companies operating in Ghana.
The ORC encouraged companies, corporate bodies, legal practitioners, investors and members of the public to regularly consult the Companies Bulletin to stay informed on statutory notices and developments affecting registered entities in the country.
The Companies Bulletin is published in accordance with Section 370 of the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992), which mandates the Registrar to publish statutory notices and related corporate information for public access and regulatory compliance.
