Tilinpäätösarkisto

Tilinpäätösarkisto refers to the archive where a company's financial statements, also known as annual accounts or financial reports, are stored. These documents are crucial for providing a comprehensive overview of a company's financial performance and position over a specific accounting period, typically a fiscal year. The tilinpäätösarkisto serves as a repository for these historical financial records, ensuring their accessibility for various purposes.

The contents of a tilinpäätösarkisto usually include the balance sheet, income statement (profit and loss account), cash flow statement, and notes to the financial statements. Depending on the jurisdiction and company type, other documents such as the auditor's report, the board of directors' report, and corporate governance information may also be included. These archives are important for regulatory compliance, as companies are legally obligated to prepare and retain their financial statements for a certain period.

Furthermore, the tilinpäätösarkisto is invaluable for stakeholders such as investors, creditors, and potential business partners who rely on this information to assess the company's financial health, profitability, and future prospects. It also serves as a vital resource for internal management in tracking financial trends, making strategic decisions, and ensuring accountability. Access to and organization of the tilinpäätösarkisto are therefore critical for good corporate governance and transparency.
