Importance of the Annual Approval of Financial Statements

2 February, 2024

In Peru, as in many other countries, companies must keep their financial statements updated and approved by the general shareholders’ meeting. This practice is not only a legal requirement but also plays a crucial role in the transparency, financial management, and tax compliance of the company.

Corporate Regulations

According to Law No. 26887, the General Law of Corporations of Peru, companies must prepare and file their financial statements annually. These must be approved by the general shareholders’ meeting and accurately reflect the economic and financial situation of the company. The updating and approval of these documents ensure the proper management of the company under the law and good corporate practices.

Importance in Decision-Making

Financial Statements are a fundamental tool for internal and external decision-making. For administrators, they provide a solid basis for strategic planning and resource management. For shareholders and potential investors, they are an indication of corporate health and performance, influencing their investment decisions.

Tax Compliance

In the tax area, the updating and approval of financial statements are essential. The SUNAT (Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria – National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration) requires companies to file these documents to verify compliance with their tax obligations. An up-to-date and accurate record of financial statements eases the audit process and reduces the risk of penalties or fines from tax authorities.

Transparency and Credibility in the Market

Keeping updated and approved financial statements increases the company’s transparency to third parties. In addition to improving the company’s image and credibility in the market, this also strengthens the confidence of investors, customers, and suppliers.
