Australia’s audit requirements in brief
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is Australia’s corporate and financial markets regulator. Australian law requires companies operating in Australia to prepare and lodge financial reports with ASIC if they meet two of the following conditions (as at June 2019):
- Over $25m consolidated revenue for the year*
- Over $12.5m consolidated gross assets at year end*
- Over 50 employees at year end (full time equivalents)*
*Thresholds subject to change
It is also compulsory for companies listed on the stock exchange, public companies, registered schemes and some smaller companies to prepare and lodge audited financial reports in Australia. Audited financial reports also offer international businesses in Australia many other benefits.
