Frequently Asked Questions.

What are the benefits of outsourcing bookkeeping for a Cayman Islands fund or company?

Outsourcing bookkeeping for a Cayman Islands fund or company reduces operating costs, eliminates the need for a full-time local accounting hire, and ensures that financial records are maintained in compliance with the Companies Act (2025 Revision) and Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) requirements. For most Cayman vehicles, whether an Exempted Company, Exempt Limited Partnership, or registered fund, outsourced bookkeeping is not simply a cost decision, it is the operating model the jurisdiction is structurally designed around.

Are Cayman Islands companies legally required to maintain accounting records?

Yes. The Companies Act (2025 Revision) requires every Cayman Islands company to keep proper books of account that correctly explain its transactions and financial position. Registered private funds have additional obligations under the Private Funds Act (as revised), including an annual CIMA-approved audit, required under Section 13(4) of the Act, and filing of audited accounts with CIMA within six months of the financial year end.

Can a Cayman Islands fund use a bookkeeper based outside the Cayman Islands?

Yes. There is no requirement for a Cayman fund’s bookkeeper or accounting service provider to be physically located in the Cayman Islands. CIMA’s regulatory framework explicitly contemplates that most Cayman funds will outsource functions, including accounting, to third-party providers who may be based in other jurisdictions. The governing body of the fund retains responsibility for overseeing those arrangements.

What accounting standards apply to Cayman Islands fund financial statements?

Registered Cayman funds commonly prepare financial statements under IFRS or US GAAP, though other internationally recognised accounting standards may also be accepted by CIMA in certain circumstances. The majority of Cayman hedge funds and private equity funds use either IFRS or US GAAP. Unregistered holding companies and Exempted Companies have more flexibility, but most use IFRS or US GAAP when investor reporting requires it.

How does outsourced bookkeeping interact with a Cayman fund administrator?

For registered funds, the fund administrator typically handles Net Asset Value (NAV) calculation, investor capital accounting, and fee calculations. Outsourced bookkeeping focuses on the management company or general partner level, maintaining the accounts of the entity that employs staff, incurs operating expenses, and receives management fees. The two functions are complementary and are often provided by different specialists.
