Credit Rating and Annual Accounts

It’s common for a company’s credit rating to change, often for the worse, as the due date for annual accounts approaches. This is because companies that file annual accounts late, or file them right before the due date, are thought to be more likely to fail than companies that keep completely up to date. The rating will change accordingly once accounts have been filed.
