Audited financial statements and the auditor's report — what should you know about grant-related requirements?

What the enquirer needs to know is “Audited financial statements and the auditor's report”, so it deals with the case-specific points first and the shared rules afterwards. The specifics here are document type: Financials, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Audited · financial · statements · auditor's. The most frequent cause of delay in this group is missing supporting documents on the first submission. What sets this case apart is the number of certified sets and the window in which they must be used. Before starting, count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then check that names are spelled identically to the passport or ID card on every page. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Audited foundation accounts must be translated together with all notes to the financial statements. Foundation by-laws list objects clause by clause; keep the original numbering so they stay citable. Foundation and charity files usually have to present objectives, the board list and financial statements together. Overseas funders commonly require proof of legal status issued within a recent window. If any requirement is still unclear, send a sample image to the receiving body before producing the full set. A standard overseas grant package is the registration evidence, the articles or deed of foundation, the list of committee members, audited financial statements, the annual report, the project proposal, the project budget and a power of attorney for whoever signs the grant agreement. Every document is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, and the figures in the financial statements must agree with the project budget across the whole set. Organisation and personal names in English must match the registration certificate and the passport on every document in the set, and registration numbers, tax identification numbers, receipt numbers, amounts, currencies and dates are copied exactly. Translators do not interpret or condense. If the original contains an error the issuer must correct the original, because changing only the translation makes the set inconsistent and gets it returned. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
