Positioning: What Z&X Audit Services Solve
Independent, objective and professional audits that underpin compliant operations and financial transparency, building confidence among all stakeholders.
At Z&X (Thailand) Audit Firm, audits are delivered jointly by Chinese and Thai audit teams. Our Chinese audit assistants first liaise with the company and help organise accounts and supporting documents, while a Thai CPA (CPA Thailand) performs the audit and issues the formal audit report. With bilingual Chinese–Thai support throughout, we help Chinese enterprises overcome language and technical barriers.
Value: What You Gain from Z&X Audit Services
· Professional reporting: Reports are signed by a Thai CPA (CPA Thailand) and meet the statutory filing requirements of the Department of Business Development (DBD) and the Revenue Department (RD).
· Risk insight: Rigorous audit procedures help identify internal control weaknesses and business risks.
· Support for capital transactions: Reliable financial information to support financing, listings and M&A.
· Headquarters alignment: With a strong understanding of differences between Chinese and Thai accounting standards and of tax authority oversight, we help align and consolidate your financial statements with your headquarters in China.
Scope: What Z&X Audit Services Include
· Annual statutory audit: Audit of annual financial statements prepared under Thai Financial Reporting Standards for Non-Publicly Accountable Entities (NPAEs), meeting DBD and RD annual filing requirements.

Process: How Z&X Audit Services Work and How Long They Take
A standard audit is delivered in four phases, with milestones aligned to Thai statutory deadlines. The draft audit report is delivered within 60 working days after all required information is received.
| Phase | Timing | Key Activities |
① Kick-off and planning | Within 1 week of engagement | Form the engagement team, issue the Information Request List, and develop the audit plan and risk assessment |
② Fieldwork | 2–4 weeks after information is complete | Review of accounts and internal controls, confirmations, vouching and substantive testing, and cut-off testing (where required) |
③ Financial statements and reporting | Within 60 working days after information is complete | Review of financial statements, audit adjustments and delivery of the draft audit report |
④ Finalisation and issuance | About 1 week after the draft | Finalisation discussions, signing and sealing, and issuance of the final audit report |
Differentiation: How Z&X Manages Progress in Audit Services

Differentiation: How Z&X Audit Services Differ

· Bilingual Chinese–Thai support: A strong understanding of differences between Chinese and Thai accounting standards and of tax authority oversight makes it easier to align and consolidate with your headquarters in China.
· Local presence, faster response: With our head office in Bangkok and a branch in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), we can arrange on-site audits nearby, reducing travel and response times.
· Report language: Audit reports are issued in Thai by default to meet DBD and RD statutory requirements, with a Chinese translation provided; English reports or English financial statements are available by separate arrangement.
