Understanding audit and tax filing requirements in Hong Kong

Every Hong Kong company—yes, even yours—needs to complete an annual audit. It’s not just a formality; it’s a legal requirement designed to ensure your financials are accurate, transparent, and compliant with local standards.

A financial audit is an independent review of a company’s financial statements to assess whether they present a true and fair view in line with recognized accounting principles. The auditor examines key records and supporting documents to verify accuracy and consistency. Their role is to identify any material misstatements and ensure the financial data reflects the company’s actual position.

All limited companies in Hong Kong must have their financial statements reviewed by an independent, certified public accountant (CPA Practising). This isn’t optional—it’s part of staying in good standing with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

To get your audit underway, you’ll need to gather key financial records. These typically include:

  • Income statement and balance sheet

  • Trial balance and general ledger

  • Bank statements

  • Invoices (sales, purchases, expenses)

  • Contracts and agreements

  • Corporate documents (e.g. incorporation, secretary filings)

  • Prior year audit report (if available)

Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through what’s needed and when.

The IRD usually sends your first Profits Tax Return (PTR) around 18 months after incorporation. That’s your cue to submit:

  • Audited financial statements

  • Tax computation

  • Completed PTR form

But smart founders don’t wait. Preparing early means fewer surprises and smoother filing.

Audits aren’t just about ticking boxes—they’re about building trust with investors, partners, and regulators. A clean audit signals that your business is well-run and ready for growth.
