Swedish term

Årsredovisning

Swedish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Årsredovisning
Hello

This is really a question about two words in Swedish

*Årsredovisningen* är till skillnad från *årsbokslutet* en offentlig handling.

How would you differentiate the two *terms* in English

Technically, the difference is given below but I just can't work out how to deal with this in English

Thanks


Årsbokslut eller årsredovisning

Årsbokslutet är oftast ett internt dokument och grunden för företagets deklaration. Förenklat bokslut för till exempel enskild firma och handelsbolag skickas in till bolagsverket. Årsbokslutet innehåller:
Resultaträkning
Balansräkning
Tilläggsupplysningar
Årsredovisningen är ett offentligt dokument som styrs av årsredovisningslagen. Den följer ett visst format och ska skickas in till Bolagsverket. I vissa fall ska företaget ha en revisor som granskar årsredovisningen. Den innehåller:
Resultaträkning
Balansräkning
Tilläggsupplysningar
Förvaltningsberättelse

SafeTex (asker) Mar 9, 2014:
@Jane Thanks again
What you say is quite close to what I put in tentatively
"The annual accounts is a public document compared to the end-of-year financial statement" but I don't think we make the distinction as much as you seem to do in Sweden.

Annual report

The annual report is the report - which as you say is a public document - based on the "årsbokslut", or year end accounts.
Peer comment(s):

agree Deane Goltermann : The year-end accounts (financial statements) is for the accountants and auditors; the annual report contains the financial statements and much more information with discussion -- roughly.
