The short answer

Form AOC-4 is used by companies to file audited financial statements with the ROC within 30 days of the AGM (OPCs within 180 days of year end). Companies meeting specified criteria file in XBRL format, and those with subsidiaries file AOC-4 CFS for consolidated statements. Late filing attracts additional fees per day.
