When a Company in Hong Kong Requires an Audit

In Hong Kong, an audit is not optional — it is a mandatory procedure for most companies.

An audit is required if:
  • The company is registered in Hong Kong and has existed for more than one year
  • The company carried out business activities or had account transactions
  • The company did not carry out activities but must formally confirm this
  • Financial and tax reporting must be filed
  • The company works with banks or payment service providers
Even if there were no operations, the company must complete an audit in the no activity format.
We determine the required audit format in advance based on your situation.

Which Companies Need an Audit in Hong Kong

  • Companies with international operations
  • IT and service companies
  • Trading and holding structures
  • Companies with no activity
  • Companies before changing a bank or opening an account
  • Companies after their first year of operation

Documents Required for a Company Audit in Hong Kong

A standard set of documents is required to conduct an audit.
The exact list depends on whether the company had activity and what transactions were performed.

We determine the required documents in advance and assist with preparation.
  • The company’s incorporation documents
  • Financial statements for the reporting period
  • Bank statements for the company’s accounts
  • Contracts with clients and counterparties (if applicable)
  • Invoices and transaction confirmations
  • Accounting records and primary documentation
For no activity companies, the document set is minimal and serves to confirm the absence of operations.

If some documents are missing or imperfect, this is not critical.
We help bring the data into proper order and support the process through completion.

Audit of Active and Inactive Companies in Hong Kong

The audit format depends on whether the company carried out activities during the reporting period.
An active company audit is required if there were
  • Financial transactions
  • Bank movements
  • Contracts with clients or suppliers
In this case, the audit confirms the accuracy of the financial statements and is used for tax filings and banking purposes.
An inactive (no activity) company audit is required if the company officially had no operations.
Even without transactions, this status must be confirmed through an audit.
We determine the company’s status in advance and select the appropriate audit format to avoid unnecessary questions from regulators and banks.

How an Audit Is Connected to Tax Reporting in Hong Kong

Audit and tax reporting in Hong Kong are directly linked.
The audit report is used when filing the tax return and confirms the company’s financial data.

Without a completed audit:
  • It is not possible to properly close the reporting period
  • Risks arise when submitting tax filings
  • Questions may arise from tax authorities and banks

We structure the process so that the audit and tax filing proceed in sync, with a clear understanding of each step.

What Happens If an Audit Is Not Completed on Time

Delays in completing an audit can lead to consequences, even if the company had no active operations.
  • Fines and administrative penalties
  • Difficulties with tax filings
  • Questions from banks and payment service providers
  • Delays in ongoing corporate maintenance
We recommend starting audit preparation in advance to complete the process calmly and without deadline pressure.
