Frequently Asked Questions

What is financial translation?

Financial translation is the specialised translation of financial, banking and accounting documents, such as annual reports, balance sheets, audit reports and investment documents. It requires knowledge of accounting standards like IFRS and US GAAP, exact handling of figures, and terminology that regulators and investors expect.

Who needs financial translation services?

Banks, asset managers, insurers, listed companies, auditors and fintechs use financial translation for investor reporting, regulatory filings and cross-border deals. Individuals need it too, typically for bank statements, tax returns and payslips submitted with visa, mortgage or immigration applications.

Can you translate bank statements for a visa or mortgage?

Yes. PoliLingua provides certified translations of bank statements, payslips and tax returns that are accepted by immigration authorities, embassies and lenders. Each translation keeps the original layout and figures and includes a signed statement of accuracy.

How do you keep financial documents confidential?

All linguists sign NDAs, files are transferred over encrypted channels, and access is limited to the assigned team. PoliLingua is Cyber Essentials certified, and price-sensitive material such as unpublished results can be handled under additional contractual controls.

How long does it take to translate an annual report?

A professional linguist translates around 2,000 to 3,000 words per day, plus revision. A 40-page annual report usually takes one to two weeks, and larger teams can work in parallel to meet reporting deadlines while one lead linguist keeps terminology consistent.

Do you translate IFRS and US GAAP financial statements?

Yes. Our financial translators are familiar with IFRS and US GAAP terminology and use the standard terms of the target country, so statements read naturally for local auditors, regulators and investors.
