Why do I need an audit?
Under current legislation, a company is required to engage a certified public accountant to audit its accounts. In Hong Kong, a certified public accountant's audit report is also a prerequisite for a limited company to file tax returns if it has a business. Under the Companies Ordinance, the annual financial statements of a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong are required to be audited by a certified public accountant who has been issued a practising certificate by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). Apart from taxation, audit reports can also be used for financing and borrowing purposes and to improve the management of the business, thereby protecting the interests of shareholders.
Hong Kong Audit Requirements.
Under the law, companies incorporated in Hong Kong are required to have their financial statements audited annually by a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) registered in Hong Kong and an Auditor (Auditor), who is a third party independent of the company, to ensure that the audit report is fair and true. For listed companies, the auditor is required to perform an annual assessment of the company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to ensure the accuracy of the company's financial position.
The financial statements of all companies or entities must comply with the audit requirements of the Companies Ordinance and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. For companies listed in Hong Kong, they must comply with the relevant audit requirements under the Rules of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The audit does not necessarily have to be performed by an in-house position, and other companies or third parties may be appointed to perform the work on your behalf.

Offshore company audit:
Whether an offshore company requires an audit depends on the jurisdiction in which the company is registered and the nature of the Hong Kong business in which the company is involved. If the company is registered in the British Virgin Islands, Seychelles, etc., as long as the company is not involved in business from Hong Kong, it will basically not receive a tax return from the Inland Revenue Department and will in effect not be required to submit an audit report.
