Serbisu Auditoria iha Timor-Leste
An audit is only useful if the people relying on it — shareholders, donors, banks, regulators — trust the firm that signed it. That trust is built on method: planning, evidence, documentation and an opinion that means something.
Primos Bo'ot's audit practice is led by two chartered auditors and has been running engagements in Timor-Leste since 2013 — statutory audits for private companies, compliance audits for donor-funded projects, and internal audits for organisations that want to find problems before someone else does.
Types of audit we perform
- Statutory audits — independent opinion on annual financial statements
- Internal audits — processes, controls and risk, reported to management or the board
- Compliance audits — verification against specific contractual or regulatory requirements
- Special-purpose audits and agreed-upon procedures — scoped to the question you need answered
- Internal-control assessments — where the weaknesses are and how to fix them
How we run an engagement
Every audit follows the same arc: planning, fieldwork, reporting. In planning we agree scope, timing and the document list — so your team knows exactly what will be asked of them and when. Fieldwork happens at your offices or remotely, depending on the records. Reporting is a draft first, discussed with management, then a final signed report.
What clients notice most is turnaround. Because we are based in Dili — not flying in from Jakarta or Darwin for a week of fieldwork — queries get resolved in days, not billing cycles. And because we work in three languages, source documents in Tetun or Portuguese don't need translating before an auditor can read them.
When to book
For a December year-end, the best time to appoint an auditor is October–November: early enough for interim planning, before the January–March crunch when every audit firm in the country is fully booked. If you have a donor deadline, work backwards from it — a typical project audit needs four to eight weeks from appointment to signed report, depending on the state of the books.
Pergunta baibain
Is an audit legally required for my company in Timor-Leste?
It depends on your entity type, size and any obligations in your contracts, financing agreements or donor grants. Many audits in Timor-Leste are driven by contract rather than statute. Ask us — we will tell you honestly whether you need one, and if not, whether a lighter review would serve.
How long does an audit take?
A typical SME or project audit runs four to eight weeks from appointment to signed report. The single biggest factor is the state of the books — audits of well-kept records close fast.
Can you audit an organisation whose books you also keep?
No — independence rules prevent us auditing financial statements we prepared. We do one or the other for each client, and we will tell you at the first conversation which engagement makes sense.
