Vientiane — AQQOUNT has added statutory audit to its accounting and compliance services, through a licensed audit partner. The partner is a Ministry of Finance–licensed audit firm and a member of the Lao Chamber of Professional Accountants and Auditors (LCPAA). Its licensed statutory auditor signs every audit report under the Law on Independent Audit (No. 51/NA).
Until now, clients had to find and manage their own audit firm. Now AQQOUNT handles the whole year-end through one advisor: bookkeeping, tax, financial statements, the audit calendar and filing the signed report.
Why it matters
Many companies in Laos must be audited every year. Mandatory audit is commonly reported to apply to foreign-invested enterprises, state-owned enterprises, public-interest entities and companies with total assets above about 50 billion kip (see our guide to accounting and bookkeeping in Laos). Banks, investors and partners also ask for audited numbers before a loan, a deal or a concession file. Managing an accountant and an auditor separately means the same documents are asked for twice and findings go back and forth. One AQQOUNT contact removes that friction.
What clients get
- Statutory annual audits, signed by our partner’s Ministry of Finance–licensed auditor.
- Half-year reviews, project and donor audits, and internal control reviews.
- Pre-audit preparation by AQQOUNT accountants, so the audit starts with clean books.
- Sector experience: our partner has audited microfinance, leasing and trading companies.
- One advisor and one timeline, from year-end close to filing.
- Licence copies shared with every proposal.
Prepared by AQQOUNT, audited independently
An auditor must never check numbers it prepared itself. So AQQOUNT prepares the accounts, and the licensed partner, a separate firm, audits them and forms its own opinion. Clients get an independent report that banks and investors trust, without managing two firms.
