In financial documents the numbers are the obvious risk; the subtler one is the accounting standard behind each term. Etrans translates annual reports, audits, prospectuses, fund and compliance materials with figure-by-figure checks and confidential handling throughout.
Annual reports, audits and fund documents from institutions such as HSBC and JPMorgan, and from firms such as PwC, rest on IFRS, US GAAP or local standards. One Chinese term may map to different concepts under different standards, so confirming the reporting basis matters more than polishing sentences.
These files are also time-sensitive: they cannot circulate before disclosure, and figures change across versions. We manage translations by version so any figure change propagates to every affected table and note, with a change log at delivery.
Note: Etrans regularly handles document translation projects involving the international brands named above and is familiar with their terminology and layout conventions. Brand names describe document types and project context; they do not imply endorsement or authorisation by the brand owner.
Going concern, accrual basis, impairment and related party must correspond to the standard the client uses, not to a dictionary equivalent.
Cross-page tables, merged cells, thousand separators and bracketed negatives distort easily during format conversion; we check cell by cell against the source.
One figure change often touches the statements, notes and management discussion. We rescan by version number so old and new figures never coexist.
Two representative assignments from completed work in this field, with the scale, language direction and deliverables involved, so you can compare them with your own files.
Statements, notes and management discussion delivered together with accounting terms aligned to the international reporting basis and all tables checked.
Prospectus, risk disclosure and investor Q&A adapted to local financial usage while keeping risk wording consistent.
Note: These are representative assignments drawn from completed work. Volumes, language directions and turnaround are given at project level; some file details and contact information are withheld under confidentiality undertakings.
