A general meeting that certain companies are required to hold each year. A public company must hold an AGM each year within the period of six months beginning with the date following its accounting reference date (ARD). A private company is not required to hold an AGM each year (although it may choose to do so and its articles of association may contain provisions requiring the company to hold an AGM each year). The business conducted at an AGM usually includes the declaration of a dividend, the consideration of the company's accounts and reports, the election of directors in place of those retiring and the appointment of the company's auditors and the fixing of their remuneration.

CA 2006, s 471 defines ‘annual accounts’ as any individual accounts prepared by the company for that year, and any group accounts prepared by the company for that year.

For the purposes of CA 2006, Pt 15 a company's annual accounts and reports include: —the annual accounts —the directors' report —the strategic report (unless the company is not required to prepare one) —the directors' remuneration report, which may include a directors’ remuneration policy, and any separate corporate governance statement not included in the directors' report (in the case of a quoted company), and —the auditor’s report on the accounts, the directors’ report, the strategic report, the auditable part of any directors’ remuneration report and any separate corporate governance statement (unless the company qualifies for audit exemption)
