FSCA Communication 15 of 2020: Impact of COVID-19 on FMA Compliance
The Financial Sector Conduct Authority extends statutory compliance deadlines for accounting records, audits, and JSE listing requirements to address COVID-19 disruptions. Regulated entities with financial year-ends from December 2019 to March 2020 receive extended audit submission dates of May or June 2020, while JSE-listed issuers obtain a uniform two-month extension for provisional statements, AGM notices, annual reports, and debt filings. These adjustments apply irrespective of prior JSE-granted extensions and remain in force until the newly specified deadlines.
