Accounting Services in Taiwan

The responsibility for maintaining accurate accounting records typically falls on company directors, who are often deeply immersed in the day-to-day operations of their businesses. Consequently, they often delegate the task of preparing financial reports to junior staff members. However, outsourcing accounting functions offer a practical solution to reduce overhead costs and enhance cost management for companies. The accessibility of professionally managed and promptly delivered financial accounts is paramount for company directors, empowering them to make informed business decisions aimed at increasing profits and attracting investors. Most importantly, this approach relieves them of the burden of staff recruitment and training in this regard.

Accounting requirements in Taiwan

For the majority of Taiwanese companies, the fiscal year aligns with the calendar year, spanning from January 1st to December 31st. Bookkeeping must be conducted in the local currency, the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). All accounting records, supporting documentation, and financial statements must be prepared in the Chinese language.

 

Companies are expected to adopt the accrual basis for recognizing, measuring, and reporting financial transactions. Furthermore, it’s essential to retain all accounting records for a minimum of 5 years, with accounting books and financial statements preserved for at least 10 years following the conclusion of the year-end closing.
