Expert Statutory Audit, Accounting & Tax Compliance in Bangladesh
Navigating the regulatory landscape of the Companies Act 1994 requires professional precision. In Bangladesh, every Private and Public Limited Company is legally mandated to undergo an annual statutory audit. Our certified experts ensure your financial reporting aligns perfectly with RJSC and NBR mandates, protecting your directors from penalties and ensuring long-term business continuity.
All companies in Bangladesh, including startups and foreign subsidiaries, are required to appoint an auditor within 30 days of incorporation. Even if your firm has no active trading transactions in a given fiscal year, you must maintain statutory records to remain in “Good Standing.” Our team manages the critical compliance hurdles:
Auditor Appointment: Facilitating the formal appointment of ICAB-registered auditors.
Statutory Record Keeping: Maintaining corporate registers, minute books, and share ledgers.
Annual Filing: Preparing and filing Schedule X and audited financial statements with the RJSC.
Tax Documentation: Organizing records for the computation of corporate tax filings and VAT compliance.
Regulatory Representation: Handling correspondence regarding fines or penalties imposed by regulatory bodies.
Unlike other jurisdictions, Bangladeshi law does not provide “audit exemptions” based on turnover size. Every limited company must submit audited accounts annually to the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies (RJSC) to avoid director disqualification and daily compounding fines.
Content: While the audit is mandatory, small businesses and SMEs can leverage audited reports to qualify for lower corporate tax brackets. Proper accounting ensures you benefit from all allowable expenses and tax rebates under the Income Tax Act 2023.
A company is considered “dormant” if it has no significant accounting transactions. However, dormant firms must still file an annual “Nil” tax return and an audited report to keep the company’s registration active and prevent it from being struck off the register.

Frequently Asked Questions: Audit & Compliance in Bangladesh
Under Section 183 of the Companies Act 1994, every limited company in Bangladesh must prepare and present audited financial statements at its Annual General Meeting (AGM). These reports are essential for maintaining your company’s “Active” status with the RJSC and are a prerequisite for filing your annual corporate tax return with the NBR.
For private limited companies, audited financial statements must be laid before the shareholders at an AGM within 9 months of the closing of the financial year. Once approved at the AGM, the Schedule X and audited accounts must be filed with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) within 30 days to avoid late filing penalties and director disqualification.
The DVS is a security platform developed by the ICAB and NBR to prevent the use of forged financial statements. Every valid statutory audit report in Bangladesh must now include a unique Document Verification Code (DVC). Without this verifiable code, your audited financial statements will be rejected by banks for loan applications, by the NBR for tax filings, and by the RJSC for annual returns, making it the most critical trust signal in modern corporate compliance.
The audit report and financial statements must be signed by at least two directors (including the Managing Director) before the auditor signs them. This typically occurs during a Board Meeting held at least 21 days prior to the AGM, ensuring all shareholders receive the finalized documents along with the formal AGM notice.
Yes. According to the Companies Act 1994, there is no “small business” or “revenue threshold” exemption for auditing in Bangladesh. Every registered Private Limited Company—even those with no active trading or revenue—must conduct an annual statutory audit and file a “Nil” tax return with the NBR. Failing to do so can result in the RJSC striking your company off the register and imposing personal penalties on the directors.
