Financial reporting requirements for companies in Indonesia are governed by various regulations and standards. Here’s an overview of the key regulatory requirements:

Applicable Regulations:

• Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK)
• Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies
• Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan / OJK) regulations for public companies

Key Requirements:

• Annual Financial Statements: Companies must prepare annual financial statements consisting of:

  • Balance sheet
  • Income statement
  • Cash flow statement
  • Statement of changes in equity
  • Notes to the financial statements

• Accounting Standards: Financial statements must be prepared in accordance with Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK), which are largely aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

• Language and Currency: Financial statements should be prepared in Indonesian language and presented in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

• Filing Deadlines:

  • Private companies: Within 6 months after the end of the financial year
  • Public companies: Within 4 months after the end of the financial year

• Audit Requirements:

  • Public companies: Annual financial statements must be audited by a registered public accountant
  • Private companies: Audit requirements depend on company size and other factors (e.g., total assets, annual turnover)

• Board of Directors’ Report: Companies must prepare an annual report of the Board of Directors, providing an overview of the company’s performance and future plans.

• Consolidated Financial Statements: Required for companies with subsidiaries, presenting the financial position and results of the entire group.

• Specific Industry Requirements: Certain industries (e.g., banking, insurance) may have additional reporting requirements set by their respective regulatory bodies.

• Tax Reporting: Companies must submit annual corporate income tax returns, which should be based on the audited financial statements.

Additional Considerations:

• Companies may need to maintain their accounting records for a minimum of 10 years.
• Foreign-owned companies (PMA) must also submit periodic investment activity reports (LKPM) to the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry (BKPM) via the OSS system — quarterly for medium and large businesses.
• Publicly listed companies are subject to more stringent reporting and disclosure requirements set by the OJK and Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX).

It’s important to consult with qualified professionals or refer to the latest regulations for the most up-to-date and specific requirements applicable to your company’s situation.
