Answer: No, a PLC does not automatically have to suspend its shares if its accounts are late. While late filing of accounts can have serious consequences, including financial penalties and potential criminal prosecution for directors, suspension of shares is not a mandatory outcome. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has the power to suspend a listing, but it will only do so if it deems the circumstances justify it, not solely based on late filing.
