Audit requirement is mandatory now for Cyprus companies

[Dave]

I have been told the following recently by one of the formation agents:

The audit requirement is mandatory now for Cyprus companies. It is not possible to do avoid this requirement any more. Please see the attached circular. We are aware that some formation agents are informing their clients that an audit is unnecessary. This is wrong.

Please see the attached document he provided and please confirm this is TRUE!

Yes it is true & usually it costs 1000 euros + 19% VAT. Usually it‌ is for around 20 documents (invoices, receipt) per month. Then, this costs more money if‍ you have more documents. In fact, they check if the sum of your documents reconciliate⁠ with balance sheets and profit and loss.

Open the following in Chrome and wait for⁤ the translation:
This is the 2016 law:
Ο περί Εταιρειών Νόμος - ΚΕΦ.113 - 152Α⁣ - Υποχρεωτικός έλεγχος των οικονομικών καταστάσεων, των ενοποιημένων οικονομικών καταστάσεων, της έκθεσης διαχείρισης και της⁢ ενοποιημένης έκθεσης διαχείρισης από ελεγκτές
This is the previous 2009 law:
Ο περί Εταιρειών Νόμος︀ - ΚΕΦ.113 - 152Α - Υποχρεωτικός έλεγχος των οικονομικών καταστάσεων, των ενοποιημένων οικονομικών καταστάσεων, της︁ έκθεσης διαχείρισης και της ενοποιημένης έκθεσης διαχείρισης από ελεγκτές
