INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

I Accounting Outsourcing and Consultancy Inc.
Cebu City

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of I Accounting Outsourcing and Consultancy Inc.  which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 20X1, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risks assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The company’s inventories are carried in the balance sheet at "DATE". Management has not stated the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value but has stated them solely at cost, which constitutes a departure from Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. The company’s records indicate that had management stated the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value, an amount of xxx would have been required to write the inventories down to their net realizable value. Accordingly, cost of sales would have been increased by xxx, xxx and xxx, respectively.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AI Accounting Outsourcing and Consultancy Inc. as at December 31,20X1, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

STEPS on how to REGISTER your BUSINESS with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):

1.       Encode and reserve the name of your company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

-          Visit www.sec.gov.ph for reservation of company’s name. In any case, the name is not available; lists of proposed company names will prompt. You may either choose from the suggested company names or may encode another name and verify again its availability. Reserved names cost Php40/month for the first 30 days with a maximum cost of Php 120 for 120 days or 4 months. Thus, it is renewable upon expiration of the period.

2.       Deposit paid-up capital in the Authorized Agent Bank (AAB) and acquire a bank certificate of deposit

-          At least 6.25% of the Authorized Capital Stock of the corporation is required by law for the company to deposit the paid-up capital. Thus, paid-up capital must not be less than Php 5,000.

3.       Articles of Incorporation and Treasurer’s Affidavit must be notarized at the certified notary

-          As per Section 14 and 15 of the Corporation Code, Articles of Incorporation must be notarized as you file necessary documents with SEC.

4.       Register the company with SEC together with the pre-registered Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

-          These are the following documents needed for SEC registration:

a.       Verification slip of company’s name

b.      Notarized Articles of Incorporation and by laws

c.       Notarized Treasurer’s Affidavit

d.      Statements of Assets and Liabilities

e.      Bank Certificate of paid-in capital deposit

f.        Letter of authority to verify the bank account

g.       Registration data sheet with particulars on directors, stockholders, officers etc.

h.      Notarized written undertaking to comply with SEC reporting requirements

i.         Notarized written undertaking to change corporate name

-          The SEC Head Office will ONLY issue for pre-registered TINs provided that company’s Application for Registration (BIR Form No. 1901) at Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has been approved. Thus, the company still needs to continue processing the needed documents at BIR in order to identify applicable tax types, pay the Annual Registration Fee, stamp sales invoices, receipts and books of accounts.

 

5.       Secure a Barangay Clearance

-          Herein are the needed requirements presented at your respective barangay to obtain a barangay clearance:

6.       Pay the Annual Community Tax and secure a Community Tax Certificate (CTC) at City Treasurer’s Office (CTO)

-          Two things that a company is charged; a Basic Community Tax and an Additional Community Tax. Basic Community Tax will quantify based on company’s legal documents that is; corporation, partnership and/or association at a rate of Php 500 or less.
