Tilintarkastajaa

Tilintarkastajaa is the Finnish word for auditor. An auditor is an independent professional who examines the financial statements of an organization to ensure their accuracy and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In Finland, like in many other countries, auditors play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and trust in the business world. Their work helps stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, and the public, make informed decisions based on reliable financial information.

There are two main types of auditors: external and internal. External auditors are independent third parties hired by the company to provide an objective opinion on its financial statements. Internal auditors are employees of the organization who assess the company's internal controls and operational efficiency to identify potential risks and areas for improvement. The specific requirements for becoming a tilintarkastaja in Finland are governed by legislation and professional standards, often requiring specific education, examinations, and practical experience. The primary goal of a tilintarkastaja is to provide assurance that financial reports are free from material misstatement and present a true and fair view of the company's financial position.
