The Cayman Islands Companies Act requires every company to keep proper books of account. Such books must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and be sufficient to explain its transactions. In addition to the requirements of the legislation, the directors of a company will require the maintenance of proper accounting records in order to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities.

Similarly, trustees and personal representatives of estates are under a legal obligation to give an account of their stewardship of the trust and estate funds when called upon. In addition to the legal obligation placed on trustees and personal representatives, the preparation of accounts is also a matter of sound practice. Accurate records are necessary for administering the trust or estate effectively.
