How to Check if a Company Has Undergone Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
You can directly visit the inquiry window at the Administration for Industry and Commerce to check the basic information of a company. Local administrations for industry and commerce provide company information inquiry services on their websites, with varying levels of detail. Some regions disclose all public information of companies online for inquiry, but most areas offer relatively brief online company information queries. Therefore, not all company information can be found on the official websites of the administrations for industry and commerce in all regions. Below is additional information regarding company annual inspections: 1. On February 19, 2014, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a notice stating that the annual inspection system for companies would officially cease on March 1. It required all levels of industrial and commercial authorities to promptly prepare for the implementation of a series of new systems, including the company annual report disclosure system. 2. This means the company annual inspection system will officially become a thing of the past. According to the newly released "Company Capital Registration System Reform Plan" by the State Council, the company annual report disclosure system has officially replaced the annual inspection system.
Last time I wanted to check if a supplier was reliable, I looked up their annual inspection status online. The first step was to visit the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System website at www.gsxt.gov.cn, enter the company name or unified social credit code in the search box, select the correct province, and click search. The system would then display a results page showing the company's annual report status—if it says 'Annual Report Submitted' or 'Normal', it means they passed the inspection; if it shows 'Annual Report Not Submitted' or 'Abnormal', then they failed. This method is particularly useful because companies that fail annual inspections may be listed in the abnormal business operations directory, affecting their ability to secure projects and bank credit. I recommend checking regularly—not just to verify potential partners but also to prevent risks. Downloading the official mobile app makes it even more convenient; just enter the key information, and you'll get results in seconds.
