Exempt of statutory audit
A company may be exempted from statutory audit if :
- It is an Exempt Private Company (“EPC”). EPC is a private company which has no corporate shareholder (direct or indirect) and the number of shareholders in the company is not more than 20.
- Annual revenue of EPC does not exceed S$5mil for financial year starting on and after 1 June 2004
- Shareholders who represent 5% or more of a company ordinary shares do not request for audit
- Banks or other creditors/financial companies do not request for audit
However, EPCs are still required to prepare financial reports in a format defined by the Companies Act and the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards before holding Annual General Meeting and submit the financial reports together with form C when filing income tax return. It is important that the financial reports be prepared by a Chartered Accountant to ensure compliance with the statutory requirements. The fee for a compilation engagement is lower than the audit fee.
