The accounting standards prescribed in Singapore ("Singapore Financial Reporting Standards" or SFRS) are consistent with those of the International Accounting Standards Board.
新加坡会计准则理事会(ASC)制定,审查,修改和批准会计准则,供公司,慈善机构,合作社和一般社团使用。
经证券监管机构许可,上市公司也可以使用IFRS标准。
股权证券在新加坡主要上市的外国公司必须采用SFRS,IFRS标准或US GAAP。
但是新加坡公司可以根据自己的业务和政府的要求选择做账的周期。有的公司做月账,有的公司做季度账,半年账或者年账。
通常情况来说,普通的国际贸易公司或者投资公司(在本地的年销售额少于100万新币)会选择做年账 ——一年做一次。
If the company's local sales in Singapore exceed SGD 1 million a year, the company needs to register as a GST-registered business. As per the requirements on consumption tax declaration (which mandates filing once every three months), the company must do quarterly accounts.
