Audit is a statutory compliance requirement for foreign-owned companies registered in Hainan Free Trade Port (Hainan FTP), with clear and targeted rules tailored to different enterprise types and business scopes in 2026, the first year of Hainan FTP’s full customs special operation. All foreign-owned enterprises must submit an audit report as supporting documentation for annual industrial and commercial annual report disclosure and corporate income tax filing; failure to complete the audit as required will result in being included in the abnormal business directory.
Audit compliance is not only a legal obligation for foreign-owned companies in Hainan FTP but also the fundamental guarantee for enjoying the port’s super preferential policies and sustainable business development. First, a compliant audit report is the threshold for accessing Hainan FTP’s core benefits such as the 15% preferential CIT rate, zero-tariff policies and tax exemption for new overseas direct investment income—enterprises without valid audit reports will be disqualified from these policies. Second, Hainan’s tax, finance and market supervision departments have established a joint verification mechanism for substantive operation; a standardized audit report can effectively prove the compliance of an enterprise’s business activities, accounting files and capital flow in Hainan FTP, avoiding regulatory risks such as policy qualification cancellation. Third, audit compliance helps maintain the corporate credit of foreign-owned enterprises: the audit report ensures the authenticity and accuracy of the annual report information disclosed on the national enterprise credit information publicity system, which is crucial for the enterprise’s market cooperation, cross-border financing and subsequent business expansion in China.
