Filing Req
A news article discusses current or recent news of either general interest (i.e. daily newspapers) or of a specific topic (i.e. political or trade news magazines, club newsletters, or technology news websites). A news article can include accounts of eye witnesses to the happening event. It can contain photographs, accounts, statistics, graphs, recollections, interviews, polls, debates on the topic, etc. Headlines can be used to focus the reader’s attention on a particular (or main) part of the article. The writer can also give facts and detailed information following answers to general questions like who, what, when, where, why and how. Quoted references can also be helpful. References to people can also be made through written accounts of interviews and debates confirming the factuality of the writer’s information and the reliability of his source. The writer can use redirection to ensure that the reader keeps reading the article and to draw her attention to other articles. For example, phrases like "Continued on page 3” redirect the reader to a page where the article is continued. While a good conclusion is an important ingredient for newspaper articles, the immediacy of a deadline environment means that copy editing often takes the form of deleting everything past an arbitrary point in the story corresponding to the dictates of available space on a page. Therefore, newspaper reporters are trained to write in inverted pyramid style, with all the most important information in the first paragraph or two. If less vital details are pushed towards the end of the story, the potentially destructive impact of draconian copy editing will be minimized.

FILING REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPANIES
All companies registered with the SECP are required to fulfill certain post incorporation statutory and legal requirements to
stay compliant with their corporate obligations. Fulfilling of these post incorporation requirements will not only bring
transparency in the corporate affairs of a company, but also enhance the SECP’s regulatory capabilities. Besides, necessary
information is readily available to shareholders, investors, creditors and the general public.
Company directors are responsible for filing of various documents and statutory returns containing information about the
company to the registrar concerned. These documents and returns are filed at a specified time prescribed under the
provisions of the Companies Ordinance 1984, whenever a particular event or change takes place in a company’s activity or
structure. Holding of an AGM, registration of mortgage charges and election/change in directors, are some of the examples
of such an event or change. Filing of returns and documents is done at the SECP’s Company Registration Offices through
submission of prescribed forms under the Companies (General Provisions and Forms) Rules, 1985.
Filing requirements differ for each company depending on its company kind and type of business. For details on filing
requirements of all type of companies registered with the SECP, kindly visit the Promoters Guide, Schedule of Fees/Filings,
and Directors and Secretaries Guide on the three links given below. All these three links are on our website.
