Processing the annual accounts

The annual accounts received by the Chamber of Commerce are checked for:

• their source (have the annual accounts been supplied by the legal person?)
• signature
• notification of date of adoption or approval
• completeness (are all sections present?)

The Chamber of Commerce does not carry out any investigations into content; the checks are limited to matters which are apparent at first sight.

Archiving
Once the annual accounts have been received for filing by the Chamber of Commerce, they are entered into the trade register computer. A hard copy and and/or a digital version are also kept. The Chamber of Commerce will keep the annual accounts on file for seven years.
