Limited statutory audit for Sàrl companies in Eysins: what every SME should know
Between VAT, social contributions and the year-end close, a Swiss SME juggles dozens of deadlines a year. This page focuses on limited statutory audit in Eysins: what the law requires, what can be automated, and when to delegate.
Year-end closing: how the mechanics work
Depreciation follows rates accepted by tax practice (property, machinery, IT): staying within those ranges avoids reassessments. Exceeding them is justified — and documented, in Eysins as anywhere.
A company in Eysins that presents clean, punctual annual accounts gains credibility — with its bank, its suppliers and the tax administration.
A well-structured SME chart of accounts
Account labels deserve as much care as numbers: “Third-party fees” says nothing, “Fiduciary fees” and “IT fees” say everything. Meaningful labels cut posting errors and make dashboards readable without a glossary.
For limited statutory audit, the right granularity is decisive: enough accounts to steer the business (margins by activity, expenses by nature), few enough that every entry finds its place without hesitation. The VAT accounts (input VAT, VAT due) deserve special care — they are the basis of the annual reconciliation.
Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?
A good test before choosing: ask the fiduciary HOW it wants to receive the documents. A precise answer (formats, frequency, platform) says more than any brochure — including in Eysins.
For limited statutory audit, the internal-external duo works when both sides see the same file: same entries, same documents, same deadlines. Misunderstandings are born from parallel copies.
The Swiss legal frame for limited statutory audit
Three documents summarise the health of a Swiss business: the balance sheet (what it owns), the income statement (what it earns) and the notes (what else you should know). All the work of limited statutory audit converges on those three pages, in Eysins too.
Art. 957a CO requires complete, truthful and systematic recording of transactions, each entry backed by a supporting document. For limited statutory audit, that means in practice: no movement without a receipt, and an audit trail that can be reconstructed at any time — including during a VAT or AHV inspection.
Eysins: what changes, what does not
Working with a fiduciary from Eysins no longer depends on geography: the documents of a business in Eysins are shared online, while the canton Vaud keeps its own deadlines for the tax return.
Federal deadlines do not move in Eysins: VAT within 60 days, salary declaration in January, 10-year record retention — postal code 1262 changes nothing about those rules, only the sender's address.
Frequently asked questions
Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Eysins?
Yes: the platform runs online, the rules applied are federal (VAT, CO, AHV), and the file can be shared with any fiduciary. A business in Eysins manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.
How long must records related to limited statutory audit be kept?
Ten years from the end of the financial year concerned (art. 958f CO). Electronic retention is permitted if the integrity and readability of the records are guaranteed — a serious digital archive validly replaces paper binders. A business in Eysins can therefore archive fully digitally.
What are the legal obligations for limited statutory audit in Switzerland?
The foundation is the Code of Obligations: proper bookkeeping (art. 957a CO), annual accounts (balance sheet, income statement, notes) and 10-year retention of books and records (art. 958f CO). VAT applies from CHF 100,000 of turnover, and social insurance settlements from the first employee. Nothing is different in Eysins: federal law applies.
Do you need a fiduciary for limited statutory audit, or can you do it yourself?
Both are defensible. Below CHF 500,000 of revenue, a sole proprietorship may keep simplified accounts itself. As soon as payroll, VAT and a closing with tax stakes are involved, professional support prevents mistakes that cost more than the fees. With a shared platform, the fiduciary does not even need to be in Eysins.
