Ongoing legal and regulatory compliance is central to the health, credibility, and long-term viability of any business operating in Nepal. Nepalese companies are required to maintain statutory registers, prepare and file annual returns and financial statements, convene shareholder and board meetings in accordance with formal procedures, and adhere to corporate governance obligations under the Companies Act and, where applicable, sector-specific laws. For foreign-invested and regulated entities, the compliance burden is often compounded by parallel reporting to authorities such as the Department of Industry, Nepal Rastra Bank, and sectoral regulators. Non-compliance may result in penalties, suspension of licenses, disqualification of directors, or reputational consequences.
