Asked about Egyptian financial statements, financial reporting, or the accounting standards an Egyptian business must follow.
Key facts — Egypt, 2026
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Country | Egypt (جمهورية مصر العربية) |
| Who prepares formal financial statements | Companies (joint-stock شركة مساهمة, LLC ش.ذ.م.م, etc.). NOT sole proprietors / professionals — they file the income-tax return with supporting accounts |
| Standards | Egyptian Accounting Standards (EAS / المعايير المحاسبية المصرية) — IFRS-aligned with local departures. Banks/insurers/regulated entities follow sector standards set by the FRA / Central Bank |
| IFRS | EGX-listed companies and public-interest entities apply EAS (which is converged with IFRS); full IFRS is used by some multinational subsidiaries for group reporting. Verify any specific entity's basis |
| Currency | EGP (Egyptian Pound — ج.م) |
| Authority | ETA (Egyptian Tax Authority — مصلحة الضرائب المصرية) for tax filing + FRA (Financial Regulatory Authority — الهيئة العامة للرقابة المالية) for capital-market/regulated entities; GAFI (الهيئة العامة للاستثمار) / commercial registry for company records |
| Filing | Companies: audited financial statements filed with the corporate tax return (within 4 months of year-end) and, for regulated/listed entities, with the FRA/EGX. Individuals: income-tax return by 31 March with supporting accounts |
| Audit | Mandatory for all companies except partnerships (شركات الأشخاص — general & limited partnerships), per Companies Law & Capital Market Law. Verify the partnership carve-out for the specific entity |
| Quality tier | Research-verified — pending sign-off by an Egyptian accountant (محاسب قانوني) |
