Reliable accounting records shall include the detail information on all fund movements (moneys received and moneys transferred out by the company), duly supported by relevant documentation. The accounting records should contain sufficient details to explain the company’s transactions and to determine the financial position of the company with reasonable accuracy. The accounting records should be kept for a minimum of five years from the date of the transactions.

Furthermore, the Registered Agent must maintain a written record of the physical address where the accounting records and documentation are maintained each of the BVI Company.

BVI companies that fail to comply with the Act are liable to a fine of US$10,000 as stated in Section 98 (2) of the BVI BC Act, 2004.
