Belgian State Gazette
raises risk · Two or more financial years not filed
Since the financial year that closed on 31-12-2023, 3 financial years are missing at the National Bank. A company this far behind goes bankrupt within the year nineteen times as often as a punctual filer.

Position against the passed deadline
31-12-2023 close31-07-2024 deadline27-09-2026 today
neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2022 was due by 31-07-2023 and was filed on 24-08-2023, 24 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
