As the end of your financial year approaches, are you prepared for the legal requirement of compiling Annual Financial Statements? This service ensures your business meets its annual reporting obligations with a professional, compliant, and accurate set of financials.
What are Annual Financial Statements? A Simple Guide
Annual Financial Statements (AFS) are like a formal “report card” for your business’s financial health over a 12-month period. They consist of several key reports, including:
• Income Statement: Shows your profit or loss.
• Balance Sheet: Shows what your company owns (assets) and owes (liabilities).
• Cash Flow Statement: Shows how cash has moved in and out of the business.
These statements must be prepared according to specific accounting standards (like IFRS for SMEs) and are required by the CIPC, SARS, banks, and potential investors.
