To manage the Annual Report, the Annual Report add-on is required.
This quick guide is based on you who are to administer the management and applies to a limited company where the auditor and CEO are added as users in Boardeaser.
Guide Annual report
1. Create New Annual Report
Click on "Meetings" > "Annual reports" in the left menu. Then click on the "New Annual Report" button.
Set year for Annual report and proceed by clicking the "Create Annual Report" button.
2. Settings & Upload
Enter who will be responsible for the process, CEO and auditor.
Then upload the annual report by drag and drop files och click the box.
The file needs to be in PDF format.
Auditor
If there is no auditor, select "No auditor" in the list. If you have not added the accountant as a user in Boardeaser, you can click on "Change user" and invite the accountant (if you want the accountant to only see selected parts such as the Annual Report, set the authorization to Limited). The auditor must accept the invitation and will then be asked to sign the annual report after all board members have done so.
3. E-sign the annual report
Send request for e-signature to board members and CEO by clicking the button "Send for E-signing".
When these have e-signed, the same request is sent to the auditor.
Sign with e-signature
Send request for e-signature to board members and CEO. These receive an e-mail with an invitation and a link to sign the annual report with Boardeaser's partner Assently. When these have e-signed, the same request is sent to the auditor.

Upload the signed and scanned annual report, then click on "Manually signed".
4. E-sign and remind
E-sign the annual report yourself and see who has e-signed. Remind if necessary.

The auditor can then upload the audit report and e-sign it.
