Under the Companies Act, dormant and private exempt companies with an annual revenue below S$5m are not required to have their accounts audited. However, such companies must continue to maintain proper accounting records and prepare "true and fair" financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards (FRS). Failure to maintain proper accounting records could result in Directors being fined up to S$2,000 or imprisoned for a term of up to 3 months in addition to a default penalty. Directors could also be fined up to S$50,000 if the financial statements do not comply with the FRS.
