That is to say, annual Inspections are mandatory for all companies registered in China. A company that fails to conduct the annual inspection will incur adverse impact and severe punishment. The time period for annual inspection is from 1st March to 30th June every year.

Each year from March to the end of June, the annual inspection is jointly hosted by the following governmental departments:
(1) Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM);
(2) Ministry of Finance (MoF);
(3) Administration of Industry and Commerce (AIC);
(4) State Administration of Taxation (SAT);
(5) State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE);
(6) Statistical Bureau.

The inspections of AIC and SAFE (see below) are usually more complicated than others and may require additional separate procedures being conducted. Regional variances also exist. Wholly foreign owned enterprises (WFOEs) with branches should pay special attention to ensuring that their branches also undergo annual inspection.
The relevant documents required for the annual inspection are as follows:
(1) Annual inspection report;
(2) Audit report issued by external accounting firm;
(3) Financial statements of the previous year;
(4) Certificate of approval for FIEs;
(5) Business license;
(6) Capital verification report;
