Osakeyhtiölainsäädäntöön

Osakeyhtiölainsäädäntö refers to the body of laws and regulations governing the establishment, operation, and dissolution of limited liability companies (osakeyhtiö) in Finland. The primary legislation is the Finnish Companies Act (Osakeyhtiölaki), which outlines the rights and obligations of shareholders, directors, and the company itself. This act dictates requirements for company formation, including share capital, registration, and the Articles of Association. It also covers aspects of corporate governance, such as the roles and responsibilities of the board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders.

Furthermore, osakeyhtiölainsäädäntö addresses the financial reporting and auditing obligations of companies. It specifies how financial statements should be prepared and presented, and when an audit is mandatory. The legislation also deals with significant corporate events like mergers, demergers, and liquidations, providing a legal framework for these processes. Amendments to the Companies Act are periodically made to adapt to economic changes and to align with international corporate law standards, ensuring a modern and effective legal environment for businesses operating in Finland. The legal framework aims to provide certainty and protection for all stakeholders involved with limited liability companies.
