Annual Audits in Thailand
Thai law states that any registered legal entity in Thailand (applicable to all company structures) is required to prepare and submit its accounts for an annual audit.
Failure to undergo an annual audit is a criminal offence and guilty parties are subject to a penalty of up to 200,000 THB.
What is an Annual Audit?
All registered companies and entities in Thailand must complete an annual audit, regardless of whether the company has traded over the past year or not. This audit must be filed within 150 days after the close of the accounting period.
The annual audit must be completed by an independent certified auditor, companies are not permitted to complete their own audits. Once the audit has been completed, it must be signed by the company director, approved by shareholders, and filed with the Commercial Registration Department and the Revenue Department of the Ministry of Finance (MOF).
For private limited companies, an annual meeting of shareholders must be arranged in order to approve the company’s audited financial statement. This meeting must be held within four months of the end of the fiscal year. The filing of the audited statement and supporting documents must be made no later than one month after the date of the shareholder meeting.
