ADD & SUBTRACT HELPS YOU WITH
Year-end reports
There are legal requirements for limited companies of a certain size to have an accountant. The accountant’s role is to carry out an independent check of the work that has already been done. During the audit, usually in connection with the annual accounts, Add±Subtract’s chartered accountant will audit the company’s accounting and produce an auditor’s report.
The financial statement is an alternative means of quality assurance for accounting for small companies that choose not to use an accountant. We can draw up a financial statement for all types of companies, even private businesses and trading companies. The financial statement has been drawn up by the trade associations Srf Konsulterna (Association of Swedish Accounting and Payroll Consultants) and FAR (Swedish Institute of Authorized Public Accountants).
What is an audit report?
When an auditor has audited the bookkeeping and accounting of a company, the auditor prepares anaudit report. An audit report is the end-product of an audit and states whether thecompany has presented a true picture of its finances in its year-end reports. The audit report must include a statement regarding whether the annual accounts comply with laws and regulations.
What must an audit report contain?
An audit report must include a statement regarding whether the annual accounts comply with laws and regulations. The auditor should also include a number of recommendations in the audit report, such as whether the Board should be granted a discharge for the period audited, whether the income statement and balance sheet should be adopted by the annual general meeting, and whether the proposed allocation of profits should be approved. Any objections or comments regarding taxes and fees, or errors that may give rise to liability for damages must also be included.
The audit report must clearly state the accounting period to which it relates, the method by which the auditor has compiled the report, and whether any documentation needed in order to come to a conclusion is missing. Finally, the document must be signed by the accountants performing the audit.

Year-end report – for those who don’t want to retain an auditor
As you are aware, in 2010, the legally-mandated audit requirement was abolished. Instead, there is the option to choose to prepare a year-end report as quality assurance of a company’s accounting. The year-end report complies with the international standard used in other EU countries, where there has long been an established process for this type of quality assurance of accounting and financial reporting.
A year-end report can be prepared for all forms of businesses, including sole proprietorships and partnerships. This makes possible the quality assurance of businesses that start in a form other than as a limited liability company. Ever since 1 July 2011, it is also possible to provide quality assurance of semi-annual and quarterly accounts, as well as other periods of less than one year.
It is important to instil in government agencies, banks and other interested parties a sense of trust in the financial accounting of your company. Retaining a chartered accounting consultant who can manage the finances of your company, provide you with financial advice and prepare a year-end report increases the confidence of the market in your company. The year-end report acts as a guaranty and evidence that your accounting maintains a high level of quality. Many surveys of credit institutions show that creditworthiness is highest amongst those businesses that prepare a year-end report.
