Financial Institution Compliance Audits a Must for El Salvador Companies
Post-Scandal Pressure on El Salvador Companies
In the wake of a major financial scandal, companies in El Salvador are under increasing pressure to ensure their financial statements accurately reflect their true financial position. To address this concern, the country’s legislation has been amended to require large corporations to appoint a tax auditor if their total income exceeds the equivalent of 4,817 minimum wages or they have assets totaling US$1,142,857.14.
Why Financial Statement Audits are Essential
According to industry experts, an audit of financial statements is crucial for companies seeking to maintain compliance with El Salvador’s strict regulations. The goal of such an audit is not only to provide assurance on the accuracy and reliability of a company’s financial reports but also to strengthen its accounting management by identifying areas for improvement.

In addition to financial statement audits, tax authorities in El Salvador are now cracking down on non-compliance.
