Under CFTC Regulations 4.7, 4.12 and 4.22, CPO's are required to distribute an Annual Report to each participant in the pool within 90 days of the pool's fiscal-year end. Generally, the Annual Report must be prepared by an independent public accountant. Pools with a fiscal year end of December 31, 2016 must file Annual Report on or before March 31, 2017. To avoid potential disciplinary action for failure to file timely reports, CPO must comply with the due date or a request for extension Pursuant to CFTC Regulation 4.22(f) before the due date. CPO's will receive a notice reminder from the NFA regarding the filing requirements. The CFTC also publishes guidance to provide assistance with complying with regulations on the preparation and filing of commodity pool annual financial reports.
