Paul Wan & Co is an established Singapore practice that audits larger groups and smaller companies. This profile keeps to facts from the firm's page and the ACRA register, and it says plainly what is not published.
SingaporeCompanySetupGuide.com is an independent guide. We are not Paul Wan & Co, not ACRA and not an audit firm. The quote form on this page sends your request to suitable providers, and some partners pay us a referral fee if you sign with them. That fee changes nothing on this page.

Who may sign my audit?
Under the Accountants Act, ACRA says, only a registered public accountant may provide auditing and reporting on financial statements. A firm name alone is not enough. Ask for the name of the signing partner and search the person on Bizfile with the 5-digit PA registration number. The status should read Active.
Before you spend on an audit, check whether your company can skip it. Our audit exemption guide sets out the test.
What does Paul Wan & Co charge?
Nothing was published on the pages we read. A fair quote names the scope (statutory audit, tax computation, filing), the year-end, the deadline and what triggers extra fees. Compare it to two other firms. The audit firms page lists what to ask.
What should I ask before I engage them?

- How does the firm handle a company with a foreign parent?
- What is the timetable from year-end to signed accounts?
- Does the firm also prepare the Form C-S? See Form C-S.

Who is a practice like this likely to suit?
A mid-sized audit and tax practice with a global association is a natural fit for groups with a foreign parent, a funding round or a listing plan. A lone founder with a few invoices a month may find a bookkeeping firm cheaper and quicker. That is our reading of the services list, not a view on quality.
If you are forming a company and also want an auditor, the order is simple. Set up with a registered provider, keep proper books from the first month and appoint your auditor before year-end, not after. Late appointments squeeze the timetable for the annual return. Ask the firm what it needs from you, such as the trial balance, bank statements and contracts, and by which date, so the audit does not stall on missing papers.
How does Paul Wan & Co compare on price and rating?
