Why OCTIS

A Hong Kong CPA signs it

Your audit report is signed by a Hong Kong practising CPA at our partner practice, as the Companies Ordinance requires.

Auditor queries stop landing on you

When the auditor asks about a payment or a balance, we answer from your records. We come to you only when a question is truly yours.

Tax forms, a calculator and a laptop on a table

Your profits tax return goes in with it

The audited accounts go in with the profits tax return. On Standard we do the computation and file the BIR51, so there is no second job to chase.

Your accounts, audit file and reports open in one workspace whenever you want them, so nothing is retyped between firms.

WHAT IS A COMPANY AUDIT?

What Hong Kong law asks of your audit, handled

1An audit every year

Every Hong Kong limited company must have its financial statements audited each year by a Hong Kong practising CPA. The only routine exception is a company that has passed a special resolution to be dormant. We arrange the CPA and the audit.

2The reporting framework

Audited statements are prepared under HKFRS for Private Entities or SME-FRS. We prepare them to the right one.

3When it is due

The audit is due with the profits tax return. The first return is normally issued about 18 months after incorporation and must be filed within three months. After that, returns are issued each April. We track the dates and remind you early.

4What to send for a quote

Your current auditor's invoice or quote if you have one, your financial statements and the prior-year audited accounts. The price assumes complete records. If yours are not, our accounting plans can get them there.
