Audited Financial Statements


An Audited Financial Statement is a set of financial documents that have been examined and verified by an independent auditor to ensure their accuracy and compliance with accounting standards. These statements provide a comprehensive overview of a company's financial position, performance, and cash flows over a specific period.


Audited Financial Statements typically include:

  1. Balance Sheet: Presents a snapshot of the company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity.

  2. Income Statement: Summarizes the company's revenues, expenses, gains, and losses over a specified period, resulting in its net income or net loss.

  3. Statement of Cash Flows: Shows how the company generates and uses cash during a specific period, categorized into operating, investing, and financing activities.

  4. Statement of Changes in Equity: Tracks changes in the company's equity accounts, including contributions, distributions, and changes in retained earnings.


How to Prepare Audited Financial Statements for BIR Compliance:

Preparing audited financial statements for BIR compliance involves several steps:

  1. Engage an Independent Auditor:

    • Hire a qualified and independent auditor to conduct the audit of your financial statements.
  2. Provide Documentation:

    • Furnish the auditor with all necessary financial records, including ledgers, journals, bank statements, invoices, and supporting documents.
  3. Audit Process:

    • The auditor will perform various audit procedures, including tests of transactions, verification of account balances, review of internal controls, and assessment of accounting policies.
  4. Draft Financial Statements:

    • Based on the auditor's findings, draft the audited financial statements, ensuring they accurately reflect the company's financial position and performance.
  5. Include Auditor's Report:

    • Attach the auditor's report, which provides an opinion on the fairness and reliability of the financial statements.
  6. Submit to BIR:

    • Submit the audited financial statements, along with other required tax filings, to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as part of your annual tax compliance.


Key Points for BIR Compliance:

  1. Accuracy and Completeness:

    • Ensure that the financial statements are accurate, complete, and prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards (e.g., Philippine Financial Reporting Standards).
  2. Transparency:

    • Disclose all relevant financial information, including any significant accounting policies, estimates, and contingencies.
  3. Compliance with BIR Regulations:

    • Ensure that the audited financial statements comply with BIR regulations and guidelines, including those related to tax reporting and disclosure requirements.
  4. Timeliness:

    • Submit the audited financial statements to the BIR within the prescribed deadline to avoid penalties and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
  5. Retain Supporting Documentation:

    • Retain all supporting documentation and audit trails used in the preparation of the financial statements for future reference and audit purposes.


By following these steps and considerations, you can prepare audited financial statements that meet BIR compliance standards and provide an accurate representation of your company's financial position and performance.
