BOOK KEEPING AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Important aspects to consider in regards to Bookkeeping:

1. Reporting Currency:

In Cyprus, Audited Final Accounts can be prepared in any currency and the Inland Revenue accepts Books (and I.R.4) in any currency. An important decision for clients therefore is to decide which currency they wish to report in. The most logical approach would be to use the operating currency. It is important to note that the commissioner of V.A.T. only accepts reporting in Euro. Therefore a company that prepares its books in US Dollars for the Inland Revenue and is VAT registered must translate its VAT transactions into Euros for VAT reporting. Eltoma Corporate Services can advise you on the best way in which to fulfil statutory requirements.

2. The Nature of the Business:

The underlying economic situation is crucial to understand when making business decisions. In order to be successful, a business should be aware of the conditions in which they operate and should be fully aware of the costs they are incurring and the profits they are making. If accounts are kept organised and up to date then this can assist in the smooth running of the company to make strategic decisions and ensure future success.

3. Supporting Documentation:

We utilise a computerised accounting system (called Sage 50). As per the requirements of the Companies Law, Cap.113, for every transaction the client is required to produce supporting documentation in the form of Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices and Bank Statements.

Audit Services:

All Audits are conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. These standards require that the Audit is carried out in accordance with ethical requirements and is performed to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Financial Statements are correct. Eltoma Corporate Services can provide a full range of cost effective audit services through our associates in order to ensure full compliance.

Important considerations in regards to Audit:

What is involved in the Audit Process?

The factor that is of upmost importance is the accuracy of balance sheet accounts. Year-end Bank balances at have to be correct, meaning that the balance of your bank statement should be reconciled with the balance in your books.

To comply with this as accurately as possible we ensure that the balance is certified in writing by the bank. Additionally we require that Directors sign a declaration identifying any indebtedness to or from the company.

Quarterly Reporting:

We can provide any kind of tailor made financial management reports, either on a monthly or quarterly basis. We can produce budgets which project financial results into the future based on customer feedback, and provide feasibility studies appropriate for launching a new business or project. These in turn can be used for obtaining bank loans or for approaching investors for funding.

Adequate bookkeeping can serve as a powerful management tool. It can facilitate the production of timely and accurate management reports that provide decision makers with the data required and therefore help businesses become more efficient and improve their profitability as well as cash flow management.
