True, there is no requirement, but if the entity is not required to submit audited AFS, they may choose to submit unaudited AFS instead of a Financial Accountability Statement (FAS).
Per the CIPC website: “It should be noted that only the audited financial statements must currently be filed with the CIPC. A company or close corporation, that is not required to file its audited financial statements, may still file such or its reviewed financial statements via financialstatements@cipc.co.za
Companies and close corporations that is neither required to file its audited financial statements, nor voluntarily filed its audited financial statements or reviewed financial statements, must file a financial accountability supplement (CoR30.2) with its annual returns.
