Annual Audit

In accordance with Thai law, all registered companies must present the annual financial statement and comply with accounting principles. Since all legal entities registered in Thailand have a legal obligation to prepare their accounts.

The financial statement must be audited and submitted to the opinion of a certified auditor, with the exception of the financial statement of a registered company established in accordance with Thai law, whose total capital, assets and income do not exceed what is prescribed in the Ministerial Regulation. The performance record must be certified by the auditor of the company, approved by the shareholders and submitted to the Commercial Registry Department of the MOC and to the Fiscal Department.

The director is responsible for organizing the annual shareholders meeting to approve the audited financial statements of a company within 4 months at the end of the fiscal year. A copy of the audited financial statement and the annual report, together with a copy of the minutes of the shareholders meeting approving the financial statement, must be certified by the director and presented to the Registrar, together with a list of shareholders on the date of the meeting , no later than 1 month after approval at the shareholders meeting.

In addition, the company is required to publish the balance sheet for public information in a newspaper for a period of at least 1 day within 1 month of the date it was approved at the shareholders meeting.

An accounting period must be 12 months. Unless the Statutes establish otherwise, a newly established company must close accounts within 12 months of its registration. Thereafter, accounts must be closed every 12 months. If a company wishes to change its accounting period, it must obtain written approval from the Director General of the Fiscal Department.

Closing Company

When a business in Thailand has to close, particularly a Thai limited company, there are procedures to follow before legitimately closing down the company. This is the main process and timeline to close a company in Thailand:

1. Confirmation that the company has no outstanding debts;

2. Prepare shareholder minutes of meeting to close the company

3. After 14 days, the decision to close the company needs to be published in a local newspaper to also inform the creditors;

4. Only then, the necessary government forms to put the company into liquidation can be filed at the DBD;

5. Once this is done, accounts up until that date will be prepared;

6. Those accounts will need to be audited and approved by the shareholders

7. The last step will be to close the liquidation at the DBD, Revenue Department, Social Fund and Labor Department (if applicable).
