Audit or exemption?
Which side of SSM's audit-exemption criteria you fall on decides both the cost and the timeline.
Audited vs exempt
| Criteria | Statutory audit | Audit-exempt |
|---|---|---|
| Who qualifies | Companies outside the exemption criteria | Companies within SSM's revenue, asset and employee criteria |
| What is lodged | Audited financial statements | Unaudited financial statements |
| Who signs | A licensed auditor | The directors |
| Cost | 10–30% less than your current audit bill | No audit fee |
OCTIS has no market-average audit fee to set beside it, so none is shown.

Good to know before you choose
Who decides whether we are exempt?
The criteria are SSM's and are assessed for each financial year. We check your figures against them before quoting.
Can an exempt company still choose an audit?
Yes — lenders, investors or shareholders sometimes ask for one.

Questions, answered
What is OCTIS?
OCTIS does your accounting and bookkeeping, audit and tax. Licensed accountants check the work, and company secretary services are available on the same account.
Is the lowest price guarantee real? How does it work?
Yes. Where a current fee note shows a lower fee than the OCTIS fee, send it to us. We price based on it — 10–30% off, until 31 Dec 2026. Send the fee note by WhatsApp to 011-2429 7825.
Is the money-back guarantee real? How does it work?
Yes, on every OCTIS service. Ask in writing within 30 days of paying. Read the Money-Back Guarantee terms
How does OCTIS help me get more done?
One app and one chat instead of a firm for each service. You upload a document once, and you see where every order stands without asking.
How does OCTIS help me cut extra costs?
We automate the whole process, so your company's compliance and the back-and-forth cost less to run. That is why we can charge less and deliver faster. A live company health check in the app also shows where you are spending more than you should, alerts you, and suggests a better option that costs less.
How does OCTIS help me keep risk under control?
Reminders for your company's deadlines, so nothing is missed, and a professional legal team when you need one.
Is everything in OCTIS done by AI?
No. Licensed professionals do the work. AI helps them work faster, and helps you understand and analyse your own company quickly.
