Audits and accounting
Audits can happen at any time, they can be scheduled but, more often than not, they can be random and of some surprise, if you are not well prepared.

If you are already, or intend to conduct business in Vanuatu then you will need to know a little about company formations in Vanuatu when it comes to local and international company incorporation. The local company incorporation rules state that, any company that is being run within Vanuatu is allowed to conduct business both locally and internationally.
The International company incorporation is for companies who want to have a company in Vanuatu but don’t necessarily want to conduct any trade with Vanuatu itself. The process is apparently quite straight forward and can take around 48 hours.
