The New York Annual Accounting Report is an annual filing requirement for certain businesses operating in the state of New York. It is an audit of a company’s financial records, including income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and cash flow. The report is used to assess the financial health of a business and to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. The report must be submitted to the Department of Taxation and Finance on or before the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the fiscal year. The New York Annual Accounting Report comes in two different forms: the Standard Form and the Short Form. The Standard Form is the most comprehensive report, requiring detailed financial information including gross receipts, total expenses, balance sheet and income statement. The Short Form is a shorter version of the Standard Form, and requires only basic financial information such as gross receipts and total expenses. The report must be completed accurately and signed by a certified public accountant (CPA). Failure to submit an accurate and complete report may result in civil and criminal penalties.
