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.

What's included

  • Audit-ready file preparation from your bookkeeping records
  • Introduction to a CPA (practising) firm registered with the HKICPA
  • Coordination of audit queries and supporting documentation
  • Review of draft financial statements before sign-off
  • Scheduling to meet your Annual Return and Profits Tax deadlines
  • Support responding to auditor queries on related-party transactions

What Hong Kong requires

Unlike some jurisdictions, Hong Kong has no small-company audit exemption — this catches out founders coming from places where one exists.

  • 01

    Audit is mandatory for every company

    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.

  • 02

    Only a registered CPA can sign it off

    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.

  • 03

    Timing is tied to your filings

    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.

  • 04

    Even dormant companies have obligations

    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.
