Q78036.Which parts of the CPA audit and financial-statement filing are most often rejected by the agency's online system, and how is that prevented?
A limited company's financial statements must be audited and opined on by a CPA registered with the Federation of Accounting Professions, approved at an annual general meeting held within four months of the year end, and submitted to the DBD via DBD e-Filing within one month of that approval. A practical order is: confirm the accounting period and which taxes apply, collect source documents (tax invoices, receipts, payslips), reconcile against bank records, then file and keep the filing evidence. Watch out: rates, allowances and temporary measures change periodically — confirm against the latest Revenue Department notification before relying on any figure.
