The campaign runs from 16 April to 30 September 2026 and applies to companies with overdue obligations under the Companies Act. Participating companies must sign a Letter of Undertaking (Akujanji) and commit to one of two pathways.
Compliance Timelines Upon Signing the Undertaking
The campaign introduces highly attractive incentives designed to make compliance achievable — and the strategic benefits extend well beyond penalty savings.
To maximise the benefits of this campaign, management should act swiftly and strategically. The compliance timeline begins upon signing the undertaking — early participation ensures sufficient time to gather records, prepare financial
statements, and complete all required filings.
Early action is critical — the campaign window closes on 30 September 2026.
Act Now: The campaign window is time-bound. Delays reduce the time available to prepare financial statements and complete filings within the granted compliance timelines. Engage your company secretary immediately.
Key Takeaway
The SSM Recovery Campaign 2026 presents a rare opportunity for Malaysian companies to reset their compliance position with minimal financial impact. Organisations that act promptly will not only reduce penalties but also strengthen governance, credibility, and readiness for future business opportunities.
