01
Salary Statement Translation
A comprehensive salary statement should contain all of the pertinent information of the salary of an employee, including the breakdown of allowance and deductions if any. It is a requirement for employers to provide an employee with the necessary salary statement which details all salary data and expense payments as well.
It must include payments, allowances, benefits, and deductions based on the contract in the course of the calendar year. The basic salary is the 100% taxable amount, while allowances and deductions (house rent allowance, leave travel allowance, medical allowance, tax deductions, etc.) are listed in full detail afterward. Because the salary statement declares and certifies the total amount that the employer pays to the employee under the employment contract, it is important to have it translated accurately and professionally for purposes of bank loans, residency permits, insurance applications, and so on. Not only can Afreno help you with accurate translations, but we can also facilitate the whole authentication process for you.
02
Salary Certificate Translation
The salary certificate is issued by an office head upon the request of an employee. The purpose of the request must be duly stated in the salary certificate, and the document issued must be approved by management. This is usually used for purposes of loan requests, and has a validity of about a year or less. The salary certificate must include the full details of the gross pay, which is the amount that the employee is entitled to receive from his or her employer. Deductions like income tax, tax to be deducted at source (TDS), installments of advances and loans, provident fund contributions, and so on must be deducted from the gross salary. Afterward, the total amount received is indicated below.
Because this document has a validity period, it is imperative that you have it translated by a certified language service provider who will provide you with cost-effective and accurate translations with a quick turnaround time.
03
Financial Documents/Records Translation
Having formal documents that accurately represent the transactions of a business entity is a key element of keeping an entrepreneurial endeavour afloat. Succeeding in a certain business means knowing how to keep track of the comings and goings in your company, and being able to monitor your performance year after year. Financial records must be maintained in order to check the retained earnings, cash flow, balance sheet, tax returns, and income statements.
These sensitive data points must be translated accurately by a translator with keen attention to detail and an expert knowledge in the industry in order for the terminologies to be translated within context. Official documents like these must be completely error-free not only in numbers but also in words in order to avoid catastrophic consequences. With Afreno as your financial documents translation partner, there is no room for mistakes that a layman without any financial knowledge is bound to commit.
04
Insurance Documents/Records Translation
Insurance documents and other important documents must be well-kept by companies if they want to steer clear of costly mistakes in bookkeeping. Normally, companies may have a records retention program that will help determine whether or not a particular record has outlived its usefulness and can be discarded. However, even if you’re a hundred percent sure of discarding your insurance records, you should keep in mind that these contain sensitive information that must be kept confidential.
Regardless if your insurance records are still in force or not, you are required to have them properly translated by a certified translator who is accredited by the necessary governing authorities in the field. Policies based on occurrence, property policies, claims-made policies, workers’ compensation, employee benefit plans, retention policies, keyman insurance, and other forms of corporate insurance documents are all valuable records that you will likely refer back to each time a claim is made or an issue is raised. Certified translations are then a must for processing these claims without a hitch.
05
Bank Records Translation
Normally done on a monthly basis, bank statement records contain all the information in a person’s bank account, summarizing the transactions during a given period of time. These must always be kept securely and confidentially in an individual’s financial records or a company’s financial bookkeeping. Having your bank records duly kept and translated by a certified translator will help you keep track of your bank account and help you identify any mistakes, discrepancies, or fraudulent behaviour as early as possible.
Account holders need translated bank records and must duly report any discrepancies to the bank immediately to avoid accumulation of errors in the long run. A diligent company must also keep translated bank records for all kinds of official purposes for their own books and for their employees. Afreno provides full translation services and even authentication and attestation so that everything can be processed reliably and effectively in one go.
