Attestation of financial statements
External audit is a legal requirement in Norway for many companies and is a regulated area. The Audit and Auditors Act requires all businesses with an annual turnover of at least NOK 5 million to undergo an annual audit. Partnerships with more than five partners, as well as all limited liability companies, are required to have a statutory audit.
For companies with listed shares or bonds, it is mandatory to have a state-authorized public accountant as the statutory auditor.
The financial statements form the basis for taxation of the enterprise's income and net worth, adjusted according to tax legislation. By law, the enterprise’s auditor must attest the accounts adjusted for taxation purposes, submitted alongside the client's tax return. Additionally, the auditor verifies the accuracy of wage reporting and withholding tax, certifying these annually.
A company's appointed auditor must certify that the required capital has been paid in on time before a Private or Public Limited Liability Company can be registered. Certain industries require specific attestations, such as in relation to government grants.
