Professional guidance through every stage of your statutory audit
We break down the audit coordination process into five clear phases, so you know what documents to prepare and when, reducing back-and-forth with the independent auditor.
Our team coordinates with the appointed independent Hong Kong CPA, organises the documents received and keeps communication moving throughout the audit arrangement.
We track audit and tax filing deadlines to help you stay on schedule with the Inland Revenue Department, reducing the risk of late filing penalties.
After the auditor issues the report, we assist with filing the profits tax return and provide guidance on ongoing compliance or company deregistration if needed.
We coordinate the audit engagement, help you sign the engagement letter and board resolution, and coordinate the bank confirmation request with the appointed independent auditor.
You provide the complete accounting records, bank statements, and supporting documents. We organize them before forwarding to the appointed auditor for examination.
The auditor submits a draft report and tax computation. We walk you through the findings and coordinate the signing of the final approval documents.
Once the audit is complete and fees are settled, we arrange for the signed tax documents to be filed with the Inland Revenue Department on your behalf.
