What is the audit exemption criteria for 2026?
For financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2026, a private company may qualify for audit exemption under Phase 2 of SSM Practice Directive 10/2024 if it meets any 2 of these 3 thresholds: revenue ≤ RM2,000,000, total assets ≤ RM2,000,000, and employees ≤ 20. The criteria are phased, with Phase 3 (2027+) increasing thresholds to RM3,000,000 and 30 employees.
| Phase | Financial period | Revenue ≤ | Assets ≤ | Employees ≤ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 2025 | RM1,000,000 | RM1,000,000 | 10 |
| Phase 2 | 2026 | RM2,000,000 | RM2,000,000 | 20 |
| Phase 3 | 2027 onward | RM3,000,000 | RM3,000,000 | 30 |
Audit exemption does not mean “no accounts.” Companies that elect exemption still need proper accounting records and compliant financial statements, together with the required certificate.
