SSM Company Financial Year Change Notification Form

Changing your company's financial year in Malaysia requires proper notification to the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) under Section 259 of the Companies Act 2016. This SSM company financial year change notification form streamlines the entire process, helping Malaysian businesses submit accurate information and supporting documents in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Whether you're a small business owner, company secretary, or accounting professional managing multiple entities, this template simplifies what can otherwise be a complex administrative task. The form collects all necessary company details—including SSM registration number, current and proposed financial year dates, and the rationale for the change—while ensuring you don't miss critical information that could delay approval.

Built for Malaysian compliance workflows, this template is designed for use by private limited companies (Sdn Bhd), public companies (Bhd), and other corporate entities registered with SSM. It's particularly valuable for company secretaries, CFOs, accountants, and corporate services providers who need to manage financial year changes efficiently while maintaining proper audit trails.

The form includes conditional logic to capture different scenarios—such as first-time changes versus subsequent changes, alignment with parent company reporting periods, or adjustments required by auditors. You can collect board resolutions, director approvals, and auditor confirmations directly within the submission, then use Papersign to obtain formal eSignatures on supporting documents like board resolutions before filing with SSM.

With Stepper, you can automate the entire workflow after submission: notify relevant stakeholders, update internal accounting systems, create calendar reminders for new filing deadlines, and maintain compliance records across LHDN (Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia) and SSM requirements. This ensures your financial year change doesn't just get filed—it gets properly implemented across your entire compliance calendar.

Trusted by Malaysian businesses and corporate services firms, this Paperform template helps you maintain SOC 2 Type II-compliant records while reducing manual administrative work and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during a critical regulatory change.
