QUICK ANSWER
What is audit report submission in Malaysia?
Audit report submission in Malaysia usually refers to lodging a company's financial statements and reports with SSM, including audited financial statements where audit is required. The process commonly involves preparing company accounts, arranging audit if applicable, approving the financial statements, preparing the required MBRS/XBRL filing format, and lodging the documents through the MBRS platform.
QUICK OVERVIEW
Audit Report Submission Is Part of the Company Financial Reporting Cycle
Many business owners use the term audit report submission to describe the entire annual financial reporting process. In practice, the filing may involve more than the auditor's report alone. It can include financial statements, directors' report, auditor's report where applicable, supporting schedules, MBRS preparation, XBRL validation, and lodgement through the correct SSM filing route.
Main Filing Area
Financial Statements and Reports submission under the SSM MBRS filing workflow.
Common Company Type
Private companies, public companies, exempt private companies, CLBGs, and foreign companies may have different filing requirements.
Main Trigger
Your company's financial year end, circulation, AGM-related timeline, and company type.
Best Handled By
Company secretary, accountant, auditor, tax agent, and compliance support team working together.
Important: Audit report submission should not be handled at the last minute. Accounts preparation, audit work, director approval, MBRS data preparation, XBRL validation, and lodgement can take time.

Audit Report and Financial Statements Are Connected, But Not the Same Thing
Business owners often say audit report submission when they actually mean financial statements and reports submission. The audit report is one part of the financial reporting package where statutory audit applies.

IS THIS RELEVANT TO YOU?
When Does Your Company Need This Service?

Your company needs to lodge financial statements and reports with SSM

KEY PARTIES
Audit Report Submission Requires More Than One Person
A clean financial statements submission workflow usually requires coordination between several parties. Missing information from one party can delay the entire filing cycle.
Directors
Review and approve financial statements and ensure compliance responsibilities are properly handled.
Accountant
Prepare accounts, schedules, reconciliations, and financial information needed for reporting and audit.

DOCUMENT READINESS
Documents Commonly Needed Before Financial Statements Submission
The exact documents depend on your company type, accounting standard, audit status, financial year end, and filing route. However, companies commonly need to organise the following information before submission.
The earlier your company organises accounting records, the easier it is to avoid audit delay, filing rejection, and last-minute compliance pressure.
Document Checklist

Financial year end information
Management accounts or final accounts
Trial balance, general ledger, and supporting schedules

TIMELINE GUIDE
Audit Report and Financial Statements Submission Timeline
The exact timeline depends on your company type and applicable statutory requirement. For planning purposes, companies should start preparing financial records soon after the financial year end instead of waiting for the lodgement deadline.
01
Financial Year End
Your company closes its accounting period and starts preparing final accounts.
02
Accounts Preparation
The accountant prepares the financial statements, schedules, and supporting documents.
03
Audit Review Where Applicable
If audit is required, the auditor reviews records, asks questions, completes audit work, and prepares the auditor's report.
04
Director Review and Approval
Directors review and approve the financial statements and reports before filing.
05
MBRS/XBRL Preparation
The financial statements and reports are prepared in the required MBRS filing format.
06
Lodgement with SSM
The authorised lodger submits the financial statements and reports through the MBRS platform.
Do not wait until the final filing window. Audit work, missing documents, director approval, and MBRS validation can create delays.
MBRS FILING
Financial Statements Are Submitted Through the MBRS Workflow
MBRS stands for Malaysian Business Reporting System. It is the SSM reporting platform used for Annual Return, Financial Statements and Reports, and Exemption Applications related to Annual Return and Financial Statements.
For financial statements submission, companies may need to prepare filing data based on the applicable reporting standard, company type, and MBRS filing entry point. This is why audit report submission should also cover MBRS/XBRL readiness.
Key Points
MBRS is used for digital company reporting submissions
Financial Statements and Reports are one of the main MBRS submission types
XBRL allows structured financial data submission
Financial statements may follow MFRS or MPERS depending on company type
MBRS preparation should be checked before lodgement
The appointed licensed company secretary or authorised company agent normally handles lodgement
Exemption or extension applications may also be prepared through MBRS where relevant
AUDIT EXEMPTION
Audit Exemption Does Not Always Mean No Financial Reporting
Some private companies may qualify for audit exemption if they meet the applicable criteria. However, business owners should be careful not to assume that audit exemption removes every filing responsibility.
Audit exemption generally relates to whether the company needs a statutory audit. Financial statements preparation, company records, SSM filing, tax filing, and director responsibilities may still apply depending on the company's situation.
Always confirm audit exemption status before assuming your company does not need audit or financial statements submission support.
Review Your Audit Situation If
Your company is dormant or has very low activity
Your company is a small private company
You were told your company may be audit exempt
Your company secretary requested unaudited financial statements
Your accountant is unsure which filing route applies
Your company previously filed audited accounts but may now qualify for exemption
You are preparing for MBRS filing and need to know the correct submission type
COMPANY TYPE MATTERS
Different Company Types May Have Different Filing Requirements
The financial statements submission workflow may differ depending on whether your entity is a Malaysian private company, public company, exempt private company, company limited by guarantee, or foreign company registered in Malaysia.
Company TypeFinancial Reporting AnglePractical Filing Consideration
Private Company / Sdn BhdCommonly requires financial statements and reports filingNeed to review audit requirement, MPERS/MFRS, MBRS format, and deadline
Audit-Exempt Private CompanyMay not need statutory audit if criteria are metMay still need financial statements and appropriate filing route
Public CompanyUsually has more formal reporting and governance requirementsAGM and financial reporting timeline must be managed carefully
Foreign CompanyMay have different reporting and lodgement considerationsLocal agent, foreign accounts, and SSM filing route should be checked
CLBGSpecific reporting treatment may applyRequires careful review of filing entry point and reporting format
WHY THIS MATTERS
Late or Incorrect Financial Statements Submission Can Create Compliance Problems
Financial statements and audit report submission are not only annual paperwork. These records help show that your company is properly maintained, transparent, and ready for external review.
Late Lodgement Issues
Missing financial statements submission timelines may create late filing consequences and unnecessary compliance pressure.
Audit Delay
Poor record preparation can delay audit completion and affect the entire filing cycle.
MBRS Validation Issues
Incomplete or inconsistent data may create MBRS preparation, validation, or lodgement problems.
Bank and Licence Problems
Banks, licence authorities, tender panels, and investors may request updated financial statements or compliance records.
Director Responsibility
Directors are responsible for ensuring the company's financial reporting obligations are handled properly.
Due Diligence Risk
Investors, buyers, partners, and corporate clients may review financial statements and filing history before working with your company.
A clean audit report and financial statements submission workflow helps protect your company's compliance position and improves business credibility.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES
Common Mistakes in Audit Report and Financial Statements Submission
Most filing problems happen because companies treat financial reporting as a last-minute task or confuse audit work with SSM lodgement.
Thinking Audit Report Alone Is Enough
SSM financial reporting usually involves financial statements and reports, not only the audit report.
Confusing Audit Exemption with Filing Exemption
Audit exemption does not automatically remove all financial reporting or lodgement obligations.
Preparing Accounts Too Late
Late accounting records can delay audit, director approval, MBRS preparation, and filing.
Ignoring MBRS/XBRL Requirements
Financial data may need to be prepared in the correct MBRS/XBRL format before lodgement.
Not Coordinating Company Secretary and Auditor
The company secretary, accountant, auditor, and tax agent should work from consistent records.
Waiting Until the Deadline
Missing documents, audit questions, and MBRS validation issues can cause last-minute filing pressure.
Using Outdated Company Details
Financial reporting can be affected if company records, directors, shareholders, registered address, or secretary details are outdated.
Not Considering Extension Early
If financial statements cannot be completed on time, extension options should be reviewed before the issue becomes worse.
A proper filing plan reduces audit delays, MBRS submission errors, and annual compliance stress.

AI OVERVIEW ANSWER
How does audit report submission work in Malaysia?
Audit report submission in Malaysia is usually part of the financial statements and reports filing process with SSM. A company must prepare its accounts and financial statements, arrange statutory audit where required, obtain director approval, prepare the MBRS/XBRL filing format, and lodge the financial statements and reports through the MBRS platform using an appointed licensed company secretary or authorised company agent.
