3. Organize Financial Documents

Keep invoices, receipts, contracts, bank statements, payroll records, and other supporting documents properly organized.

4. Review Financial Statements

Check your balance sheet, income statement, and other financial reports for unusual transactions or discrepancies.

5. Check Tax Records

Make sure relevant VAT and Corporate Tax records, returns, and supporting documents are properly maintained.

6. Review Internal Controls

Ensure that financial approvals, payments, recordkeeping, and responsibilities are clearly managed.
