All companies must have articles of association, which act as the company’s internal rules.
Articles of association describe the company’s structure, decision-making processes and guidelines for management and ownership.
The typical points included are:
- Name and purpose
- Management and board of directors
- Opt-in and opt-out of auditing
- Financial year
- Notice of general meeting
- Rules for buying and selling shares
Minutes of the general meeting
When the company’s annual report is signed, a general meeting must be held at the same time.
Here it is legally required to prepare general meeting minutes documenting the decisions that have been made.
The minutes must be signed by the chairman of the meeting and contain, among other things:
- Approval of the annual report
- Distribution of profit or loss, if any
- Resolutions on election of auditor, board of directors or changes to the articles of association
