Limited statutory audit for daycare centres in Pollegio: rules, deadlines, best practice

Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around limited statutory audit in Pollegio, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.

Year-end closing: how the mechanics work

The closing is prepared all year long: a monthly bank reconciliation and accruals tracked as you go turn the year-end into a formality, for businesses in Pollegio too.

A company in Pollegio that presents clean, punctual annual accounts gains credibility — with its bank, its suppliers and the tax administration.

A Swiss SME's accounting calendar

An accounting calendar only lives if it is shared: owner, in-house bookkeeper and fiduciary must see the same deadlines and the same status — the rule holds for every SME in Pollegio.

For limited statutory audit, year-end is prepared in October: last invoices, investment decisions, provisions to assess — December is too late to act, January is for recording.

Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?

Outsourcing limited statutory audit to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.

Changing fiduciary is not a drama: the accounting data belongs to the company, and a clean export (entries, chart of accounts, linked documents) allows a transition at year-end. A provider who locks in a client's data says a lot about how it works.

A well-structured SME chart of accounts

Concretely, limited statutory audit benefits from three tiers: balance-sheet accounts (classes 1-2) kept spotless for the closing, income accounts (classes 3-6) shaped for steering, and closing accounts (class 9) reserved for year-end entries. Each tier has its rhythm and its owner.

Suspense accounts (to clarify) are useful provided they are emptied monthly: a swelling “miscellaneous” account is the classic symptom of a chart that no longer fits the activity.

Pollegio: what changes, what does not

Sole proprietorship, Sàrl or SA in Pollegio: the AHV contact remains the competent compensation office, and taxes follow the scales of the canton Ticino.

Federal deadlines do not move in Pollegio: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 6742 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.

Frequently asked questions

How much does limited statutory audit cost in Pollegio?

It depends on document volume, the number of salaries and VAT complexity — no serious figure can be quoted without examining the file. Two levers cut the bill everywhere: digitised, well-filed receipts and software that prepares entries instead of having them re-keyed.

When must a business register for VAT?

As soon as its worldwide annual turnover reaches CHF 100,000 (CHF 250,000 for non-profit sports or cultural associations). Below that, voluntary registration remains possible and often makes sense to reclaim input VAT on investments. The threshold is federal: it applies in Pollegio as everywhere in Switzerland.

What is simplified bookkeeping and who can use it?

Sole proprietorships and partnerships under CHF 500,000 of revenue may limit themselves to recording income, expenses and assets (art. 957 para. 2 CO). Once over the threshold — or upon founding a Sàrl or an SA — full accounts with balance sheet, income statement and notes become mandatory. The CHF 500,000 threshold is assessed the same way in Pollegio.
