Micro enterprises are now exempted from submitting audited financial statements as part of their reportorial requirements, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moves to streamline compliance and reduce regulatory burdens for small companies.

The Commission on January 20 issued Memorandum Circular No. 4, Series of 2026, providing the Amendments to the Application and Definition of Terms under Revised Rule 68 of Republic Act No. 8799, or the Securities and Regulation Code (SRC), in Relation to the Adjustment of the Audit Threshold.

The memorandum circular exempts both stock and nonstock corporations with total assets or liabilities not exceeding P3 million from submitting audited financial statements.

Previously, only stock and nonstock corporations with total assets or liabilities less than P600,000 were exempted from mandatory audit.
