Corporate Affairs Commission –Everything You Need To Know About Cac
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is regarded as Nigeria’s incumbent corporate registry set up vis-à-vis the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA). Promulgated in 1990, CAMA was enacted as a basis for overseeing company establishment and management in Nigeria. Prior to the establishment of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Company Registry –which regulated the administration of the defunct Companies Act of 1968 –was the body initially performing the corporate regulatory functions of present-day CAC. Company Registry, which was a department in the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Tourism, failed to discharge its duties effectively. Therefore, it is notable that the establishment of CAC as an independent body was borne out of the need for an effective alternative to the previously existing Company Registry. Under the leadership of its Registrar-General, CAC discharges its roles through authorized members of relevant associations including:- The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN)
- The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN)
- The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA)
- The Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANA)
