What is an annual report?

An annual report (Swedish: årsredovisning) is a compilation of a limited company's finances for a financial year. Among other things, it contains a directors' report, an income statement and a balance sheet, and shows the company's equity.

 

Requirements and resolutions

Under the Swedish Companies Act, every limited company must prepare an annual report and file it with Bolagsverket. It is adopted by the annual general meeting, which also decides on any dividend within the limits of unrestricted equity.
