Limited statutory audit fees in Pomy explained simply

Delegate, digitalise or do it all yourself? Around limited statutory audit in Pomy, every SME draws its own line. The reference points below — federal law, cantonal practice and lessons from the field — help you place the cursor well.

Year-end closing: how the mechanics work

Accrual accounting is the technical heart of the closing: every income and every expense belongs to the year it economically concerns, regardless of the payment date. Rents paid in advance, insurance premiums straddling the date, supplier invoices arriving in January: all flow through accrual accounts.

For limited statutory audit, a closing checklist reused every year transforms the exercise: same steps, same checks, same documents — only the year changes.

A well-structured SME chart of accounts

A chart of accounts gets documented: one description line per account (what, when, VAT) is enough for two people to post the same way. It is the quality manual of limited statutory audit, valid in Pomy as anywhere.

The chart of accounts is also the hinge to VAT: every revenue account carries its rate (8.1%, 2.6%, 3.8% or exempt), every expense account its input-tax right. Set those attributes once in the tool and every subsequent return becomes reliable.

Tax instalments are steered: too low, they set up a salty final bill; too high, they tie up cash. Adjusting them on current figures is a profitable reflex, in Pomy as anywhere.

Handing deadline monitoring to a tool is no luxury: automatic reminders, a status per obligation, and an “all green” view that clears the mind. What matters is not who ticks the box — but that the box exists and everyone can see it.

Outsource limited statutory audit or keep it in-house?

Outsourcing limited statutory audit to a fiduciary frees up time and secures compliance; keeping it in-house preserves a continuous view and costs less in fees. The best answer is often hybrid: the company captures and digitises as it goes, the fiduciary supervises, closes the books and represents the company before the authorities.

For limited statutory audit, a quarterly 30-minute check-in with the fiduciary beats an annual marathon: questions get handled while they are small.

Pomy: what changes, what does not

Pomy (postal code 1405, canton Vaud) applies the same federal rules as the rest of the country: what changes in Pomy are the cantonal counterparts — tax administration, compensation office, commercial register.

For a business in Pomy, that means VAT returns identical to anywhere in Switzerland, but a tax return and family allowances governed by the canton Vaud.

Frequently asked questions

When is entry in the commercial register mandatory?

A Sàrl and an SA only come into existence with their registration. A sole proprietorship must register from CHF 100,000 of annual revenue; below that, registration stays voluntary but adds credibility and protects the business name. Registration goes through the canton's commercial register office — for Pomy too.

Which documents should be prepared for the year-end closing?

Bank and cash statements at the closing date, the inventory of stock and work in progress, final AHV/LPP/accident settlements, contracts signed or amended during the year, invoices straddling two years and the detail of accruals. With an up-to-date document archive, most of it is already there. The list is identical in Pomy: the CO dictates it, not the commune.

Does MyFiducia.ai work for a business based in Pomy?

Yes: the platform runs online, the rules applied are federal (VAT, CO, AHV), and the file can be shared with any fiduciary. A business in Pomy manages its documents, VAT and exports exactly as anywhere in Switzerland.

What are the current Swiss VAT rates?

Since 1 January 2024: 8.1% (standard), 2.6% (reduced — for example food and medicines) and 3.8% (accommodation). Returns must be filed and paid within 60 days after the period ends (quarterly under the effective method, semi-annually under the net tax rate method). These federal rates apply unchanged in Pomy.
