LIST OF PROCEDURES THAT ENTERPRISES NEED TO CARRY OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS


Dear Customer,

According to current regulations, on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, enterprises not only have to declare taxes and prepare financial statements but also have to carry out many procedures. And all of these procedures are not entirely the responsibility of the accounting department. Therefore, we have compiled the following procedures for two purposes: 1. To help customers understand and proactively comply to limit legal risks. 2. To define and limit the scope of our work. The scope and responsibility of accounting work are marked with items in section A below. Option B is only performed when requested by the customer and paid for separately for each service.
