What is audit translation?

What is an audit translation?

Audit translation is the specialised translation of the reports and documentation produced during an audit process — such as the auditor’s report, audit opinion, letter to management, management report or working papers — carried out by translators who are proficient in accounting, financial and audit terminology (NIA, IFRS, GAAP). Unlike the translation of annual accounts, which focuses on the financial statements themselves, audit translation deals with the review process and its conclusions. It can be provided as a standard translation, for internal use or reporting purposes, or as a certified translation, when it needs to be submitted as an officially valid document.

Reports and opinions

Auditor’s report, audit opinion, qualifications and emphasis of matter paragraphs, with the level of detail required by each audit conclusion.

Financial audit

Audited financial statements, explanatory notes, annual report and management report for reporting to parent companies and international partners.

Internal and compliance audit

Internal audit reports, internal control reports, compliance reports, SOX reports and risk assessments, with consistent terminology throughout the file.

Due diligence and transactions

Financial due diligence reports, working papers and supporting documentation for corporate transactions and investor onboarding.

When an audit requires a certified translation

Officially recognised, when needed

Most audit translations are straightforward, intended for internal reporting or for submission to the parent company. However, when the audited accounts or the report need to be submitted for legal purposes — such as filing, tenders, regulatory bodies or legal proceedings — a certified translation is required, signed and stamped by an officially authorised sworn translator and interpreter. You can check their authorisation by language using the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ official search engine.

The general framework is governed, amongst other regulations, by Royal Decree 724/2020 (BOE), which regulates the Office for Language Interpretation and the role of sworn translators. If your procedure is international, in some cases an apostille or legalisation may also be required, depending on the country.

At Trayma, we go through the destination country and authority with you before issuing the final version, so that we can recommend the safest delivery method and avoid any issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about the translation of audit reports

What is the difference between translating an audit report and translating the annual accounts?
The translation of audit reports focuses on the audit process and its conclusions (auditor’s report, opinion, letter to management, working papers). The translation of annual accounts deals with the financial statements themselves (balance sheet, profit and loss account, notes to the accounts). They are often translated together, and at Trayma we handle both whilst ensuring terminological consistency.
Does the translation of my audit report need to be certified?
It depends on the purpose. For internal reporting or reporting to the parent company, a standard translation is usually sufficient. If the audited accounts or the report need to be submitted for legal purposes — such as filing, tenders, regulatory bodies or legal proceedings — a certified translation is required. If you let us know the intended use, we can confirm which type of translation you need.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of financial information?
This is one of our priorities. Our translators are bound by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and strict confidentiality policies, and we use encrypted channels and secure systems to transmit and store documents. Access is restricted to the team assigned to your project.
What experience does your team have in the financial and auditing sectors?
We have translators who specialise in finance and auditing, with experience in financial reports, accounting documents and audits across a range of sectors. They have a thorough grasp of technical terminology (NIA, IFRS, GAAP) and the financial context, ensuring accurate and consistent translations.
In which languages do you translate audit reports?
In over 40 languages, with financial specialists. The most common languages used in auditing are English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, as well as other language combinations depending on the corporate group. When the document requires official validation, it is signed by a sworn translator authorised by the MAEC.
What is the turnaround time for an audit translation?
This varies depending on the length, complexity (tables, notes, appendices) and the number of languages. We work to realistic deadlines agreed with you and offer a prompt service without compromising on quality. To confirm the deadline and price, we need to see the full document.
