FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a PT PMA have to keep accounting books in Indonesia?
Yes. Every PT and PT PMA must keep proper books and file on time. If bookkeeping falls behind, penalties and cleanup costs can grow quickly. ILA handles monthly bookkeeping, account reconciliation and financial statements so your company stays current and has the records the tax office, investors and management expect.
Which accounting standard does ILA use for Indonesian companies?
ILA prepares books and financial statements under the Indonesian accounting standard, known as SAK. Working to the local standard means the statements are suitable for management, for investors and for filing with the tax office, rather than needing to be reworked from a foreign format later.
What documents do I need to provide for monthly bookkeeping?
The main source records are your invoices, receipts and bank statements. From these, ILA sets up or tidies a chart of accounts that fits your business, matches and checks the accounts every month, and prepares statements for management and for filing. Sending records regularly keeps the monthly reconciliation simple.
Is accounting separate from tax filing in Indonesia?
They are linked but separate pieces of work. Accounting produces the books, reconciliations and financial statements, and the tax declaration service uses those records to prepare your monthly and annual returns. Many clients use both together so the figures in the books and the figures in the returns come from the same team.
