Under the Companies Ordinance, Hong Kong limited companies generally require an annual statutory audit. When filing a profits tax return with the Inland Revenue Department, audited financial statements are typically required. Even with limited transactions, active companies should allow time to assemble bank statements, invoices and contracts.
