Audit in Spain

An audit is an independent check of the annual accounts. A Spanish company is exempt when, for two consecutive years, it stays under at least two of three limits: total assets of 2,850,000 euros, net turnover of 5,700,000 euros and an average of 50 employees. Above those limits, or when a shareholder, a lender or a regulator requires it, an auditor must sign off.

Auditors in Spain are registered individuals or firms, so check that the profile states a registration or professional body. Ask whether the same team will also keep your books, since independence rules can limit that, and whether the report and the working papers will reach you in English.

84 firms list audit: 79 accounting firms, 3 law firms and 2 corporate services providers. Spanish is offered by 82 and English by 43. The group includes 12 large networks and 16 medium firms, a larger share than for other services. Real estate is named by 20 firms. For the overall picture, read the Spain guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does my small Spanish company need an audit?

Not if it stays under two of the three statutory limits for two years running. Check your figures with an accountant, because the test looks at assets, turnover and staff together.

Can my accountant also audit my accounts?

Independence rules usually prevent the same team doing both for the same company. Ask the firm how it separates the roles, or use a different firm for the audit.
