Annual report
In Year-end closing - Annual Report you find everything you need in order to create an annual report according to the accounting act and good accounting practice for small and large businesses.
A collection of different areas of the annual report is visible in the menu bar. It varies which areas are displayed depending on which accounting rules are the basis for the company. If "Small businesses" is selected, fewer areas will be displayed than if other accounting rules are selected, such as "The general rules of the Accounting Act".
You can choose which areas to display at any time by clicking on the cog wheel icon at the top right and ticking the relevant areas.
Pre-populated values are updated automatically in annual report if they are changed, however if necessary you can click the refresh-icon to refresh values in annual report. Clicking the icon will start a full recalculation of values. During the process the button will be disabled but as soon as the values are updated the button will be available again.
In addition to Areas, Column layout and Number Format can be selected by clicking on the cog wheel symbol.
In Column layout you can specify which numerical material that should be included in the columns of the annual report. This is especially relevant if an extended financial year is to be reported. If the first financial year is 6 months or shorter, the company can choose to postpone reporting to the Brønnøysund Register and include the amounts next year.
It is the founding date that appears in Settings - Company information which manages what alternatives to the number material the system proposes for Column of numbers 1 and Column of numbers 2.
In Number format, you can enter the format for accounts and notes. The standard number format is NOK with decimals, but you can choose whether accounts and notes should be presented in whole NOK, thousand NOK or millions NOK
Submission of the annual report to Altinn is done in the menu Year-end closing - Altinn.
