Audit services in Singapore

Accorp PAC is a public accounting firm registered with ACRA. We audit Singapore-incorporated companies — for statutory purposes, and where a lender, regulator or parent company requires it.

Reviewing a set of financial statements during an audit engagement

When you need this

When an audit is needed

A statutory audit is the most common reason, but it is not the only one. Financial statements are also audited or reviewed for:

  • Banking and facility requirements
  • Branch or amalgamation reporting
  • Due diligence on a transaction
  • Grant applications
  • Industry-specific requirements
  • Shareholder requirements
  • Tax investigations
  • Tenancy agreements

An audit adds credibility to the information given to shareholders, investors and lenders, so that decisions rest on figures that have been independently examined.

Scope

What we audit

Financial statements audit

The statutory audit. We give reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement and conform with the Companies Act and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards.

Special purpose audits and certifications

Audits and certifications prepared for a specific reader — a subsidy claim, a grant body, a landlord or a lender — rather than for general statutory filing.

Agreed-upon procedures (SSRS 4400)

A defined examination of the transactions or balances you nominate. Useful where you need focused comfort on a specific area rather than an opinion on the full accounts.

Before you engage anyone

Do you actually need an audit?

Singapore exempts small companies from statutory audit. Enter your figures and we will show you how they sit against the criteria ACRA sets. No meeting, no obligation.

How we work

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Scoping

    We review your structure, records and filing deadline, then confirm what the audit covers and what it will cost.

  2. 2

    Document request

    One consolidated request, issued up front, so your team can plan around it instead of answering it piecemeal.

  3. 3

    Fieldwork

    Testing and review. Questions are raised as they arise rather than saved for a report at the end.

  4. 4

    Opinion and sign-off

    We issue the audit opinion and the financial statements, and talk through anything worth your attention.

What you can expect

How we work

  • Engagements are partner-led. You deal with the person responsible for the opinion.
  • Audit staff are professionally qualified, with knowledge of business processes, financial systems and controls alongside the accounting standards.
  • Work is carried out to the Singapore Standards on Auditing.
  • Our audit is independent and objective. Where we audit a company, we do not also prepare its accounts.

Common questions

Questions we are asked

Not every company does. Singapore exempts companies meeting the small company criteria under the Companies Act, assessed on revenue, total assets and employee numbers across the relevant financial years. Group structures are assessed differently from standalone companies. We tell you plainly whether you fall inside or outside the exemption before you engage us, and ACRA is the authoritative source on the criteria.

For an SME with orderly records, fieldwork is usually a matter of weeks. The timeline depends far more on how quickly the document request is answered than on the size of the company. We agree a schedule at scoping and flag early if anything threatens your filing deadline.

Not for the same company. An auditor reviewing accounts their own firm prepared would be reviewing their own work, which compromises independence. Where we act as your auditor, your bookkeeping sits elsewhere.

We can tell you at scoping what condition the records need to be in, and what is missing. Where bookkeeping needs to be brought up to date first, that work has to be done by someone other than us if we are auditing you.

If you want a number rather than a conversation

Request an audit fee estimate

An audit fee depends on how many entities are in scope, the condition of the records and your deadline. Tell us those and we will come back with a figure rather than a brochure.

We do not publish fees. This asks for the inputs that determine one, so the figure we send reflects your circumstances rather than a headline rate.
