In short: a Hong Kong company must keep proper books and have an audit every year by a local certified public accountant (CPA). The audited accounts are filed with the Profits Tax return. We keep the books and coordinate the work with the auditor.
Who needs it
- Every Hong Kong company — the audit is mandatory regardless of turnover.
- Companies making an offshore claim — they need clear evidence of where profits are sourced.
- Owners who don't want to deal with local rules themselves.
