Why Statutory Audit is Non-Negotiable for Singapore Companies
Comprehensive Audit Services in Singapore: Ensuring Compliance & Growth for SMEs (2026 Guide)
In Singapore, the Companies Act 1967 mandates that all incorporated companies must undergo an annual statutory audit unless they qualify for "Small Company" exemptions. An audit is more than a regulatory hurdle; it is a vital health check that provides transparency to stakeholders, including ACRA, IRAS, and potential investors.
Key Compliance Fact: Companies must appoint an auditor within 3 months of incorporation unless they meet two of the three criteria:
Total annual revenue ≤ S$10 million
Total assets ≤ S$10 million
Number of employees ≤ 50
