Financial Statement Preparation & Compilation of Reports

Financial statements of a company provides information that reflects the company’s financial position, performance and cash flow to help stakeholders make decisions in their dealings with the company. The stakeholders include shareholders, employees, creditors and the public.

The Companies Act has provisions for certain types of companies, such as dormant company and exempt private company (“EPC”), to be exempted from audit. If your company fits the requirements hence need not have to be audited, the directors still have a legal responsibility to ensure that proper accounting and other records are kept to enable the unaudited financial statements to show a true and fair view, and be prepared in compliance with the Companies Act and Singapore Financial
Reporting Standards. In addition, section 201 of the Companies Act requires the directors to present the said company’s unaudited financial statements to its shareholders at AGM. The unaudited financial statements or compilation report is to be tabled during AGM, Annual Return Filing with ACRA and income tax filing with IRAS.

The Compilation Report or Unaudited Financial Statements consists of the following items.

  • Directors’ Report
  • Statement of Directors
  • Statement of Comprehensive Income
  • Statement of Financial Position
  • Statement of Changes in Equity
  • Statement of Cash Flows
  • Accounting Policies
  • Notes to Financial Statements
  • Detailed Income Statement

GST Registration, Computation & Submission

There are two types of GST registration: Compulsory Registration and Voluntary Registration. If your business has a turnover exceeding $1million per year, it is mandatory for you to register for Goods and Services Tax (GST). You will then enjoy claiming 7% of input tax from IRAS for business expenses or purchase incurred while collecting output tax from your clients for revenue generate by sales of your goods and/or services. If you would like to enjoy the benefits of being GST registered despite not meeting the requirement of exceeding $1 million per year in turnover, you may apply for voluntarily GST registration.

GST reporting is normally done on a quarterly basis. If you do not have the capability in this area, preparation and filing of GST returns can be daunting and you may risk exposing your company to unnecessary penalties from IRAS for erroneous GST submission.

Don’t worry about the hassle of preparation and meeting the quarterly GST submission deadlines – leverage on our expertise and experience and let us do the job for you. We strive to assist you in getting your GST refund credit back from IRAS in the shortest possible time.
