How are figures, currency and dates handled in a financial translation?

The point raised here is “How are figures, currency and dates handled in a financial translation”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. Before starting, keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures, then verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. The terms that frame this page are figures, · currency · dates · handled. A financial translation must preserve figures, currency, dates, account numbers and balances exactly as printed — no rounding, no currency conversion, no summarising of transaction lines. The source date format should be kept with the Buddhist or Gregorian era stated explicitly so the receiving office cannot misread it. Financial documents are issued by the account-holding institution and tax documents by the Revenue Department or the withholding agent. A translation provider cannot issue, amend or vouch for the figures; its role is to render the text and numbers exactly — letterhead, seal, document number, signature block and dates included. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not a bank, auditor or tax agent, gives no tax or investment advice, and cannot guarantee any authority's decision. Cost and lead time depend on page count, the volume of numeric tables, the target language and the certification steps required, so every file is quoted before work starts.
