Thailand pre‑audit readiness checklist & planning template.

Use this checklist to identify potential audit risks before your Thailand statutory audit begins, so you can reduce delays, costs and unexpected findings.

Our pre‑audit readiness checklist can help you:

  • Identify potential audit risks before the statutory audit begins
  • Prioritise pre‑audit clean‑up activities based on Green / Amber / Red risk signals
  • Reduce audit delays, cost overruns and unexpected findings
  • Improve confidence and control for CFOs, MDs and overseas HQ finance teams

What the checklist covers.

The checklist is organised into eight practical sections, each with a simple Green / Amber / Red readiness assessment. Green indicates “ready, low risk”, Amber means “some gaps, but manageable with preparation”, and Red signals “high audit risk, expect delays or findings”.
Entity and scope snapshot
Do you have clarity on legal structure, financial year‑end, audit scope and group reporting obligations, and is the scope clearly agreed with auditors to avoid fee overruns or scope creep?
Accounting record readiness
Are bank accounts fully reconciled to year‑end, journal entries supported by documentation, suspense accounts resolved, and fixed assets correctly capitalised and depreciated?
Revenue and cost recognition
Are contracts clear, revenue recognised based on performance rather than invoices, deferred revenue identified and supported, and have personal vs business expenses been properly separated with full accruals for payroll, bonuses and benefits?
Tax and regulatory alignment
Do financials align with VAT filings, is withholding tax correctly applied, and are there any unexplained differences between tax and accounting records that could raise audit flags?
Intercompany and shareholder transactions
Are loans supported by signed agreements, related‑party balances reconciled, FX treatment consistent, and management fees properly supported and defensible?
Documentation and governance
Are signed customer and supplier contracts available, board approvals documented, management representations prepared, and is there a clear audit trail for key decisions?
Group and HQ reporting (if applicable)
Are Thai statutory timelines aligned with HQ deadlines, reconciliations between TFRS and group standards prepared, reporting packs and formats agreed, and have group auditors been briefed early?
Audit planning and ownership
Is it clear who owns the audit internally, who liaises with auditors, whether the timeline is realistic, and are responsibilities clearly assigned across the organisation?
