CPA Income Certifications and Banking Documentation in Costa Rica

Prepare the financial evidence your bank or institution requires—with coordinated legal and CPA support.

Banks and institutions in Costa Rica may request independent confirmation of a client's income, financial activity or supporting records. Simple Legal Consulting can provide this service through the Costa Rican Certified Public Accountant incorporated into our professional team.

SLC helps identify what the bank is requesting, organizes the supporting documents and coordinates the assignment. The CPA reviews the evidence, determines the appropriate professional deliverable and issues it under their own professional responsibility.


When You May Need a CPA Document

  • To justify the raise of capital of a corporation (SRL, S.A.)

  • Opening a personal or corporate bank account in Costa Rica.

  • Supporting a credit, mortgage or financing application.

  • Explaining independent, foreign, rental, dividend, pension or business income.

  • Responding to a bank's source-of-funds or compliance request.

  • Documenting income for a residency, immigration or administrative procedure.

  • Supporting a corporate, investment or contractual transaction.


Services Available Through Our CPA

  • CPA Income Certification. A professional certification addressing income supported by records such as bank statements, contracts, invoices, payroll information, tax filings or other evidence considered appropriate by the CPA.

  • Assurance or Attestation Report. When a bank or institution requests a broader professional conclusion regarding specified financial information, the CPA may define and prepare an assurance or attestation engagement appropriate to the request.

  • Banking Documentation Support. SLC and the CPA can help organize the supporting file, clarify the institution's wording, identify missing evidence and coordinate responses to reasonable follow-up questions.


How the Process Works

  1. Tell us which bank or institution requested the document and what it will be used for.

  2. Send the exact wording of the request by the bank and identify the principal sources of income or funds.

  3. SLC coordinates the scope, required documentation, professional fee and estimated timeline with the CPA.

  4. The CPA reviews the supporting records, requests clarification when necessary and issues the appropriate signed professional document.


IMPORTANT

Our Costa Rican Public Accountant will review the case carefully.

A CPA certification or assurance report is not automatic and does not guarantee that a bank will open an account, approve credit or accept a transaction. The CPA may request additional evidence or decline to issue a conclusion when the available documentation is insufficient. The receiving institution retains its own compliance and approval authority. No matter what result it is, we will be here to support you.
