Limited Audit in Switzerland: Definition, Criteria and Process Explained
The limited audit is the statutory audit that applies to most Swiss AGs and GmbHs. It covers every company that is too small for an ordinary audit and has not waived the audit altogether. The auditor reviews the annual accounts and reports to shareholders, which gives owners, banks and investors a basic level of comfort. In this article, we explain what a limited audit is and who needs one. We then cover what the auditor examines, how the process runs, what the report says and what it costs.

The Revisionsstelle Explained: What a Swiss Statutory Audit Body Does and When You Need One

What Is a Statutory Audit in Switzerland? A Guide for SMEs and Startups
A statutory audit is the independent check of your company's annual accounts required under Swiss law. But not every company needs one, and many can avoid it entirely.

This article explains what a statutory audit involves, who has to get one, and the difference between an ordinary and a limited audit. We'll also look at when small companies can skip the audit entirely, what changed under the law in 2025, who's allowed to act as your auditor, and how to keep the process efficient.

This article explains what internal audit is, how it differs from the statutory external audit required under Swiss law, what the legal obligations are for Swiss companies, and how SMEs can put internal audit to practical use.

Audit Costs in Switzerland: What Does a Limited Audit Cost?
Most Swiss AGs and GmbHs are legally required to have their annual financial statements audited. For the vast majority of SMEs, this entails a limited audit; a streamlined review that's less intensive and less expensive than a full ordinary audit. Yet audit costs remain one of the most common questions business owners ask when planning their annual compliance budget. This article covers what a limited audit costs in Switzerland, the key factors that drive pricing, how limited and ordinary audits differ, and practical steps you can take to keep your audit costs manageable.

Switzerland's New Transparency Law (TJPG): What Companies Must Know

This represents one of the most significant compliance changes for Swiss businesses in recent years, affecting nearly all AGs and GmbHs. This article explains who must comply, what information must be reported, key deadlines, and penalties for non-compliance.

This article examines what the OECD minimum tax means for Swiss businesses, how Switzerland implemented it following a 2023 referendum, which companies are affected, and what the future holds after the US withdrawal.

Coordination Deduction 2025: Complete Guide for Swiss Employers and Employees
Understanding the “coordination deduction” is vital for proper pension planning in Switzerland. The CHF 26,460 deduction (as of 2025) directly affects how much of your salary gets insured under the second pillar.

- Martin Gerber
I have been a Nexova customer for some time now and so far I am very satisfied! Thanks to the digital working methods and high responsiveness of the client managers, little time is lost in the daily process in particular. The prices are also very fair. Nexova handles the annual financial statements for me, including the tax balance sheet. The processes are standardized, which is a great advantage for audits (AHV and taxes). The two founders are two young, innovative guys and very serious.

- Raphael H.April 7, 2023
We are very satisfied with Nexova as our trustee. Thanks to the Teams group chat, I can always count on very fast response times (of a few minutes). The Teams Chat group is great. With our old trustee, we had to write mails and always had to wait a long time for an answer and on top of that we were charged for every little question. Fortunately, this is not the case with Nexova.
- Philip ReckFebruary 25, 2023
Nexova solved my problem with a non-paying tenant quickly and efficiently. I was simply overwhelmed with the situation and glad for the competent legal advice. Nexova handled everything from the reminder with threat of termination, to representation in court, to the police eviction quickly, efficiently and also inexpensively. Many thanks for the valuable help.
