Tilinpäätösilmoitukset

Tilinpäätösilmoitukset, or financial statements, are a set of official documents that publicly traded companies and certain other entities are required to file annually. These statements provide a comprehensive overview of a company's financial performance and position over a specific accounting period, typically a fiscal year. The primary goal of tilinpäätösilmoitukset is to offer transparency to shareholders, potential investors, creditors, and regulatory bodies.

The core components of tilinpäätösilmoitukset include the income statement (tulostuslaskelma), which details revenues, expenses, and profit or loss; the balance sheet (tase), showing assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time; and the cash flow statement (rahavirtalaskelma), which outlines the cash generated and used in operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition to these main statements, they often include notes to the financial statements that provide further explanations and details on accounting policies and significant transactions.

In Finland, these financial statements are typically submitted to the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) or the Tax Administration, depending on the entity type and purpose. The information contained within tilinpäätösilmoitukset is crucial for making informed investment decisions, assessing a company's solvency, and ensuring compliance with legal and financial regulations. They are a fundamental tool for financial analysis and corporate governance.
