We prepare your audit file, liaise with a Hong Kong-registered CPA (practising) firm on your behalf, and manage the process end to end so your statutory audit runs to schedule.
We assemble your trial balance, supporting schedules and prior-year comparatives into an audit-ready file.
We introduce you to a registered CPA (practising) firm suited to your size and industry, or work with your existing auditor.
We handle day-to-day coordination of the auditor's queries so it doesn't fall entirely on your team.
Draft financial statements are reviewed before you sign, and the audit is scheduled to keep your statutory deadlines on track.
Filed through our company-formation system once you check out. You'll receive a reference number to track progress.
Every Hong Kong locally incorporated company must have its annual financial statements audited, regardless of revenue, headcount or trading activity — there is no small-company exemption as there is in some other jurisdictions.
The audit must be carried out by a Certified Public Accountant (practising) registered with the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants — not just any accountant.
Audited financial statements typically need to be ready in time to support your Profits Tax Return and, for many companies, tabled at the Annual General Meeting.
A company that hasn't started trading still has filing obligations with the IRD; whether a full audit is required depends on its declared status, which is worth confirming rather than assuming.
General information for planning purposes, not legal advice. Requirements can change — confirm current rules with the Companies Registry or your legal adviser, or contact us and we'll walk you through it.
