Who This Is For
Who Needs Annual Audit & Compliance?
Annual audit is mandatory for every Thai limited company — no size or revenue exemption. You likely need Plizz's audit management if any of these apply.
Thai limited company (บริษัทจำกัด) of any size, including dormant entities
Audit is mandatory under the Accounting Act — even zero-revenue shell entities must file audited statements with DBD every year. A dormant company that skips the audit for two years arrives with compounding fines and a backlog that is 3–4× more expensive to resolve than staying current.
Foreign-led SME, THB 5–50M revenue, 5–30 employees, first full fiscal year in Thailand
New companies often underestimate the 150-day compliance cascade and discover the audit requirement at month 5 — with insufficient time to engage an auditor, complete fieldwork, hold the AGM, and file before the May deadline.
MNC subsidiary, THB 20–100M revenue, with a foreign parent expecting clean group reporting
The audited Thai statements must reconcile to the parent's IFRS reporting pack, and audit signatures must arrive in time for the parent's group close (typically February–March for December year-ends). A delayed Thai audit cascades into a delayed group close.
BOI-promoted company
BOI requires audited statements to verify investment plan execution, segregated promoted vs. non-promoted activity, and continued eligibility for tax holidays. A qualified audit opinion or late filing can trigger a BOI compliance review.
Company preparing for fundraising, acquisition, or exit
Investors and acquirers will not transact without 2–3 years of clean, audit-signed financials. Companies whose audit history has gaps, qualified opinions, or late filings face price discounts or deal failure.

Annual audit works best when integrated with Bookkeeping and Financial Reporting — the deadline cascade runs across all three.
Bookkeeping
Clean monthly books materially reduce audit time, audit fees, and qualified-opinion risk — audit prep is bundled into every Plizz bookkeeping package. Plizz Group incorporated clients qualify at THB 9,900/month for the first 6 months.
Financial Reporting
The audit reviews the financial statements reporting produces — statements built to TFRS for NPAEs (revised 2022) standard reduce audit fieldwork time and cost by 20–30%.
Tax Filing & Compliance
PND 50 must reconcile to the audited statements within 150 days of year-end. Plizz's integrated model means the tax-filing team knows the audit schedule and prepares PND 50 in parallel — no deadline scramble in May.
Government Registrations
DBD e-Filing account setup, digital signatory registration, and the Bor.Or.Jor.5 shareholder-list amendments filed alongside the annual audit — handled under the same engagement.
