Submitting annual report is mandatory for all the companies registered in Sweden, even if the company doesn’t have any activities during the financial year. All the accounting has to be completed before starting to compile the annual report.

Mandatory components of the annual report are management report, balance sheet, income statement and notes to the annual accounts. For larger companies’ cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity are also required. In certain cases auditor’s evaluation is mandatory.
