Before submitting an application, companies need to prepare all relevant documents and ensure that the information provided is true and accurate. The second step is the audit. The application submitted by the enterprise will be reviewed by the relevant authorities, and the main purpose of the review is to ensure that the information provided by the enterprise is true and reliable, and meets the requirements of relevant laws and regulations.
