Cyprus Parliament Approves Measures to Ease Financial Reporting for Small Companies

The Cyprus Parliament unanimously approved two bills to facilitate the financial reporting of small companies. These bills amend the Companies Law, allowing small companies and groups of small companies to prepare their financial statements based on the Financial Reporting Standards for small companies. Furthermore, the turnover threshold that companies must meet to have their financial statements audited by a certified auditor is increased from €400,000 to €300,000. The Financial Reporting Standards that small companies can apply are also defined. The proposed regulations are deemed necessary to relieve small companies from the disproportionate administrative burden associated with complying with International Financial Reporting Standards. Small companies, due to their limited resources, struggle to meet these high regulatory requirements. SELC is designated as the competent authority for determining the Financial Reporting Standards, while the Minister of Finance will be responsible for approving the standards to be submitted.
