ROC Annual Filing - OPC.
A One Person Company files the same two annual documents as other companies, on its own timetable: financial statements in AOC-4 within 180 days of the financial year end, and the abridged annual return in MGT-7A. Because an OPC does not hold an AGM, we document the adoption of accounts through the member's resolution entered in the minutes book.
Typically 5–7 working days for both forms after the audit is signed. The main dependencies are audit completion and the director's DSC; MGT-7A is usually approved electronically, while AOC-4 can be routed for review.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
Based on your situation, and fixed in writing before any work starts.

ROC Annual Filing - OPC, step by step.
Typically 5–7 working days for both forms after the audit is signed. The main dependencies are audit completion and the director's DSC; MGT-7A is usually approved electronically, while AOC-4 can be routed for review.
- 1
Accounts and audit
We coordinate the statutory audit and finalise the financial statements; an OPC is not required to include a cash flow statement.
- 2
Board approval
The financial statements and Board's report are approved and signed. An OPC needs only one director's signature on the accounts, and its Board's report focuses on explaining any auditor qualifications.
- 3
Member's resolution
Instead of an AGM, the member's resolution adopting the accounts is entered in the minutes book and signed and dated; that date is treated as the date of the meeting.
- 4
AOC-4 filing
We file AOC-4 within 180 days from the close of the financial year, with the auditor's report and the reference to the ADT-1 filed for the auditor.
- 5
MGT-7A filing
We then file MGT-7A, the abridged annual return. As an OPC holds no AGM, its 60-day window runs from the date by which an AGM would otherwise have been due.
- 6
Records update
We update the minutes book and registers and note the next ADT-1 and DIR-3 KYC Web dates in your calendar.
