Annual Report and Accounts
- Annual Report and Accounts
All limited companies are required by law to prepare an annual report each year, containing their financial statements, directors' report and auditor's report. The annual report of a listed company must also contain a five year summary of results. The annual report must be sent to shareholders and to the Registrar of Companies, a civil servant whose role it is to maintain records of companies. Once sent to the Registrar, the annual report becomes a public document, available for anyone to view. Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein financial glossary
