Tel: (246) , Fax: (246) keith@millerpublishing.net Introduction The high profile corporate collapses in recent memory and subsequent enhanced regulatory scrutiny have, as expected, placed greater focus and emphasis on the whole area of Audit, Accounting and Financial Reporting. The professionals in this area are charged with being the ones who ensure that a Company reports its results and financial position in accordance with a recognized accounting framework and that they are recorded truly and fairly. Audit professionals are further charged with verifying the reasonableness of management's representations and reporting to the shareholders. Professionals in this area are under intense pressure to "get it right". There is thus a need to stay at the forefront of current knowledge. In the island of Barbados, the relevant professionals strive to provide the highest level of service and apply an appropriate level of scrutiny. This section on Audit, Accounting and Financial Reporting gives some insight into the requirements in Barbados with respect to these. It specifically covers the following: Auditors - who can be an auditor of companies along with other pertinent information with regards to auditors Audit & Reporting Requirements - requirements to have an audit performed and other regulatory filing requirements Audit Reports - various forms of reports produced by auditors Financial Reporting Standards - the various reporting standards which can be applied by companies. All information in this publication has been carefully collected and prepared, but it still remains subject to change and correction.

4 Audit, Accounting & Reporting Requirements: Audit & Reporting Requirements Audit & Reporting Requirements Audit Requirements For a Company registered in the island of Barbados, there is an automatic requirement for an audit once the Total Assets or Revenues exceed BB$1,000,000**. In such a case, the financial statements are required to be filed with the relevant regulatory body along with a copy of an audit report. All such audit reports should be signed by a professional member in good standing with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados, who holds a practicing certificate. ** In the presentation of the 2010 Budgetary Proposals in November 2010, the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs indicated that the above threshold would be increased for companies with financial year ends subsequent to December 31, 2010 to an amount of BB$2,000,000 and again for year ends subsequent to December 31, 2013 to an amount of BB$4,000,000.

The various Acts and corresponding reporting requirements are as follows.

See Tax section for further guidance. Companies organized as Exempt Societies with Restricted Liability are required to pay an initial licencing fee of BB$850 and an annual renewal fee of the same amount. Renewal of the licence is required on or before the 31st of December to avoid related penalties. Exempt Insurance Act, 1983 Companies registering under this Act, register as an Exempt Insurance Company. This means that it is a Company in the business of insuring risks located outside of Barbados in respect of which premiums originate outside Barbados. On an annual basis, audited financial statements are required to be filed with the Supervisor of Insurance. At this point in time, the documents to be presented are the audited financial statements and a solvency certificate. The solvency certificate indicates whether the Company has met the minimum solvency requirements of the Act. At any point in time, the minimum solvency is US$125,000. Under the Act, the financial statements and solvency certificate are required to be certified by a suitably qualified auditor. On an annual basis, financial statements are also required to be filed with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue. Exempt Insurance Companies are given certain income tax exemptions. These and all other benefits under the Act can be extended for a period of thirty (30) years. Companies registered under the Exempt Insurance Act are required to pay an initial licencing fee of BBD$500 and an annual renewal fee of BB$20,000.

The solvency requirements are as follows: The solvency ratio for the core is required to be a minimum of US$125,000. If it conducts general or long-term insurance business, the solvency ratio is determined in accordance with the guidance. The solvency ratio for each cell is required to be a minimum of US$12,500.
