The end of the year is approaching

What you need to bear in mind when closing the year

A turbulent year is drawing to a close and the annual financial statements will soon be upon us again. As part of the preparation of the financial statements, not only do documents have to be compiled, but document checks and adjustment entries also have to be made. It is therefore worthwhile to start preparing early. Swiss companies are obliged to prepare annual financial statements at the end of the fiscal year. These serve to provide the stakeholders of a company with an overview of its financial situation. Although the scope of the annual financial statement varies depending on the size and legal form of the company concerned, there are a number of tasks that have to be performed in any case. 


Storage by companies


In everyday office life, full filing cabinets and shelves are not uncommon. Whether files, folders or accounting vouchers, more and more companies are struggling with space problems as a result. With up to 10 years storage obligation for companies, storage space quickly becomes scarce. 
For companies according to Art. 957 OR there is a storage obligation for business documents resulting from the accounting law (Art. 957ff OR). Regarding the keeping and storage of business records, Art. 958 lit. f CO stipulates that business records and accounting vouchers as well as the annual report and the auditor's report must be stored for ten years, whereby the storage period begins with the end of the business year.
