Planning the Reporting System Before Starting a Business in Georgia

The reporting system for a new business in Georgia depends on its legal form, expected size category, accounting standard, and any audit or disclosure requirements. Opening balances, reporting periods, financial statement structure, and possible access to reportal.ge should be prepared before business operations begin.

Reporting category

Georgia’s reporting category classifies a company according to statutory size criteria and special characteristics. Before a company is established, its category can only be provisionally determined based on expected assets, revenue, number of employees, and planned activities.

Opening balances

Opening balances are the documented initial balances with which a company’s assets, liabilities, and capital first appear in its books. For a business being established in Georgia, they are determined as of the specified opening date based on formation documents, contributions, assumed obligations, and balances actually on hand.

Reporting periods

A reporting period defines the period whose business transactions are summarized in a report or financial statement. A company in Georgia should set up its financial year, its first shortened period, and its monthly accounting and tax periods in the system before operations begin.

Financial statement structure

The financial statement structure determines which financial reports a company prepares and how accounts are grouped in them. For a company in Georgia, it depends on its legal form, reporting category, applicable accounting standard, and any audit or disclosure requirements.

Reporting portal

Company and financial reports required under Georgian reporting rules are submitted to the Accounting, Reporting and Auditing Supervision Service via reportal.ge. Access can be prepared before incorporation, but final setup requires the registered company details and an authorized person.
