BVI Accounting Requirements
Click below to learn more about BVI Accounting Regulations
The BVI Business Companies Act has been amended during August 2022 and effective from 1 January 2023 it requires BVI Business Companies to submit an Annual Financial Return to their Registered Agent which will be due nine months after the end of the financial year to which the annual return relates (limited exceptions apply).
The template of the return consists of a simple Income Statement and Balance Sheet and will not be required to be audited. It can also be prepared in any currency, in which the Company prepares its financial records. You can see a copy of the return here.
We advise all of our clients to start preparing for the regulation change and keep Financial Records to make the preparation of their Company’s Annual Financial Return easier.
You can read more information on this change in our blog article here. We have also created a specialized page for Annual Return Submissions – annualreturn.vg – which includes a lot of information and answers frequent questions on the matter.

The BVI Business Companies Act states that all BVI Companies need to keep Financial Records and underlying documentation, which can be kept at any place around the world, but the Record-Keeping Address and Record Keeper need to be known by the Registered Agent of the Company. The documents need to be kept for a period of 5 years from the date of the transaction they relate to.
Financial Records can be any document which ‘explains’ the Financial Transactions of the Company. Such records may be but are not limited to Invoices, Bank Statements, Agreements, and any other document of accounting significance.
For more information on Financial Records you can read our blog article here.
Audit of Financial Statements is not required in the BVI unless the Company is regulated (depending on type of regulation).

A transaction is any deposit into or withdrawal from the bank or an investment in an asset. This is assuming all payments and receipts are done through the company’s bank. An example can be payment to suppliers, salary payments, expenses reimbursement or customer transfer. Bank fees and charges will not be considered a transaction.
There are no prescribed Accounting Standards to be used mentioned in the BVI Business Companies Act. Our Firm prepares your Financial Statements using the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which are widely known and used in most jurisdictions and are also accepted for the Annual Financial Return completion.
In addition to comply with the BVI Business Companies Act as described above, it is always good management practice to have Accounting Records & Financial Statements. As the worldwide Tax landscape changes constantly, FS may be required for Tax reporting purposes in your country of domicile or by banks, from potential investors and will be useful for your understanding on your Company’s performance.

We’ll communicate directly with your current accounting service provider, take over all your financial documents, and review to ensure that they are complete. Now that your accounting is in good hands, you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
