The Hor.Hor. (&#3627;.&#3627;.) series handles public-company-specific filings.<\/p>\n          <p>Bilingual handling preserves form-code routing as the controlling architecture. The Thai filed instrument follows DBD-prescribed format with prescribed schedules, prescribed signatory blocks (which directors sign under the authorised-signatory clause), prescribed attestation. The English working copy matches identically &mdash; for foreign directors who must sign the Thai filed instrument, the English working copy clarifies exactly which Thai instrument they are executing, what the form code is, what the regulatory authority is, what the statutory deadline is, and what the legal effect of execution is. <em>Diligence buyers and lenders trace the DBD form-code trail across years; bilingual instruments that fail to identify the Thai filing route correctly are procurement-grade failures.<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/details>\n\n      <details class=\"faq\">\n        <summary><span class=\"faq-q-num\">Q.03<\/span><span>Annual financial statement filing &mdash; what&#8217;s the discipline for Sor.Bor.Chor.3 + audit-firm coordination?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-a\">\n          <p>Annual financial statement filing runs on a fixed cycle anchored to <strong>FAP-registered CPA audit under Thai Standards on Auditing (TSA)<\/strong> producing audited financial statements under <strong>TFRS (Thai Financial Reporting Standards)<\/strong> &mdash; TFRS for PAEs (IFRS-aligned for Publicly Accountable Entities) or TFRS for NPAEs (for Non-Publicly Accountable Entities).
