Make Sure Your Books Are Up to Date Before Late Accounts Cause SSM, Tax and Cash Flow Problems

Many business owners realise that their accounts are behind only when auditors, tax agents, company secretaries or LHDN begin requesting information for documents. By then, the pressure is not just bookkeeping. Delayed accounting records may delay the audit process.

Delay in audit may lead to delay in circulation and lodging of financial statements with SSM. delayed tax schedules may affect the timely submission of Form C and MITRS submission. Late submission may expose the company to compounds, estimated assessment, penalties and cash flow stress as well.

KKHO helps SMEs to keep organised bookkeeping, management accounts, debtor tracking, creditor tracking & cash flow records so business owners can make decisions earlier and prepare for compliance on time.

Late Accounting Is More Than an Administrative Problem

If the accounting records are late, the whole compliance chain may be delayed. If the accounts are not ready, the audit may not start or finish on time.

Where audited financial statements are late this may affect circulation to members and lodgment with SSM. The Form C and MITRS filing may be impacted if tax schedules are not ready.

The result is real pain for directors: exposure to SSM compound, estimated tax assessments by LHDN, exposure to tax penalty, pressure to make unexpected or urgent payments and sleepless nights over cash flow.

Sales are happening. But do you really know your numbers?

A business can have high sales and poor collections. It can look profitable but have weak cash flow. It might have cash in the bank but unpaid suppliers waiting. It can be busy every day but you still don’t know if you’re actually making money.
