Registrar-General Publishes Names Of Registered Professional Bodies In Good Standing

Registrar General

The Office of the Registrar-General of Companies has noted that 40 professional bodies are in good standing by filing their taxes as of July 31, 2024.

However, 43 professional bodies are not in good standing, 11 are newly registered and 73 professional bodies have no contact numbers to “enable us to contact their Executives to update their records with the ORC.”

Four professional bodies have, however, requested to be taken off the register for having gained a Chartered status by an Act of Parliament.

“The Office therefore urges ALL Professional Bodies in default to take necessary steps to be in good standing by 30th December 2024. The filing should be accompanied by a copy of the Audited Accounts of the Body, an updated list of its members and any changes made to its constitution.

“Professional Bodies that use “CHARTERED” as part of their names should attach copies of the Charter granted to those bodies by the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana when filing their Annual Returns and updating the Certificate of their Members. All those who do not have the Charter granted by Parliament should take steps to have this done within the shortest possible time or in the alternative change their names,” a release by the ORC noted.

Here is a list of the companies as listed by the ORC:
