How do Hong Kong companies determine the closing date for accounting? We have two choices: one is according to the natural year, that is12.31As the burying deadline for the year, the other is according to the Hong Kong fiscal year, i.e3.31As the burial deadline for the audit year.

How to choose these two burial deadlines? If the background of state-owned enterprises or domestic listed companies, is usually recommended to choose12.31As the burying deadline, because it can be consistent with the accounting deadline of the domestic parent company, so as to facilitate the parent company to issue the consolidated audit report.
