The best audit firms in Singapore for most SMEs are Baker Tilly, CLA Southeast Asia, Kreston Helmi Talib and Lee & Hew. All nine firms below offer statutory audits, and we checked each one was operating in October 2026. Smaller firms like Tan, Chan & Partners and TN Audit suit small companies, MCSTs and charities.

What’s changed in 2026

  • MGI N Rajan Associates is removed. Its website was down and we found no dated activity from the last 12 months.
  • CLA Global TS now trades as CLA Southeast Asia, at the same website.
  • Helmi Talib now trades as Kreston Helmi Talib. Its old helmitalib.com domain now hosts an unrelated gambling site, so we replaced the link.
  • Natarajan & Swaminathan now trades as KNAV Natarajan & Swaminathan LLP.
  • On 26 February 2026, ACRA announced a review of the small company audit exemption. It may raise the revenue and asset limits. The current rules still apply.

Does your company need an audit firm in Singapore?

Most Singapore companies must have their annual financial statements audited by an ACRA-registered public accountant. A new company normally appoints its auditor within three months of incorporation, unless it qualifies for audit exemption.

A private company is exempt if it meets at least two of these three criteria for the past two financial years:

  • Total annual revenue of S$10 million or less
  • Total assets of S$10 million or less
  • 50 employees or fewer

Companies in a group must also pass the test at group level. Dormant companies may also be exempt. Check your status on the ACRA audit exemption page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best audit firm in Singapore?

There is no single best firm. Mid-sized companies often shortlist Baker Tilly, CLA Southeast Asia or Kreston Helmi Talib. Small companies may get better value and partner attention from Tan, Chan & Partners or TN Audit.

Which small audit firms in Singapore suit SMEs?

Tan, Chan & Partners, TN Audit and Lee & Hew all audit SMEs. Tan, Chan & Partners and TN Audit also do MCST audits. Ask each for a fixed-fee quote based on your revenue and transaction volume.

What should you look for in an audit services provider in Singapore?

Confirm the firm is an ACRA-registered public accounting entity. Ask who will sign the audit and whether they know your industry. Compare fees, timelines and whether they can also handle tax filing.

Are there reliable auditing services in Singapore for foreigners?

Yes. Paul Hype Page focuses on foreign founders and expats. KNAV Natarajan & Swaminathan serves many Indian companies. TY TEOH International has China, Japan, Malaysia and US desks.

Does a small company in Singapore need an audit?

Not if it meets two of three criteria for two years: revenue up to S$10 million, assets up to S$10 million, or up to 50 employees. ACRA is reviewing these limits in 2026, so check the ACRA site before your year end.

What happens if a company skips its annual audit?

A company that needs an audit but files unaudited accounts breaches the Companies Act. Directors can face fines and ACRA enforcement. Engage an auditor early so your AGM and annual return deadlines are met.
