Accounting

 

According to the Financial Statements Act, a company may opt out of an audit, if, two of the following criteria are not exceeded on the balance sheet date for two financial years in a row*:

  • Assets of DKK 4 million
  • Annual net turnover of DKK 8 million
  • Average number of full-time employees of 12 or less during the year

 *Not applicable for companies under special rules on auditing.


The purpose of this policy is to reduce administration costs for SME companies. Despite the audit exemption, the company must submit the financial report to the Danish Business Authorities (Erhvervsstyrelsen).

 

Our services are:

  • Making and submitting the annual financial report to the authorities
