Annual Accounts | Fiscal Year-End Closing

With the month of October, we begin the last quarter of 2023, a period in which many companies start preparing the necessary documentation to comply with legal regulations required once the fiscal year has concluded.

1.- What are statutory audits?

The statutory auditing procedure is an essential component of the legislation regulating capital companies in our country, the Capital Companies Act. These are systematic and detailed processes of review, examination, and verification of an entity’s financial, accounting, and operational records, with the purpose of evaluating the integrity and legality of the information contained in said records. This regulation establishes the obligation for companies to examine their financial statements when they meet at least one of the following criteria for two consecutive years:

• If their assets exceed two million eight hundred and fifty thousand euros.
• If their net annual turnover exceeds five million seven hundred thousand euros.
• If the average number of employees during the year is greater than fifty.

2.- Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of a financial audit is to analyze and certify the economic and financial information of an organization, with the aim of verifying whether the presented accounts accurately reflect the true status of the company’s accounts.

Audit objectives:

• Credibility of financial information.
• Compliance with current regulations.
• Detection and prevention of fraud.
• Improvement of the company’s internal processes and controls.
• Support for decision-making.

3.- Why is it so important to plan them in advance?

The main reason why it is necessary to plan them in advance is the high demand from individuals and companies requiring this service. This work requires time and dedication from professionals. Good planning provides professionals with the ability to address any type of problem that arises during the study of the company’s financial situation. Furthermore, it is important to appoint auditors before the end of the fiscal year; otherwise, the corresponding Mercantile Registry will appoint auditors ex officio.

Planning the closing of annual accounts is fundamental to ensuring legal compliance, providing accurate and relevant information, supporting decision-making, and maintaining the financial health of the company. It helps the company operate efficiently and fulfill its financial and accounting obligations.

4.- What are audit reports used for?

Audit reports issued by auditors provide an opinion on the veracity and integrity of the company’s financial statements. These reports can be used by investors, regulators, shareholders, and other stakeholders to make decisions based on verified data.
