The Annual Financial Report ensures transparency, accountability, and compliance with Bulgarian accounting legislation. It provides reliable information to owners, partners, creditors, banks, institutions, and potential investors.

Its purpose is to show the financial position at the end of 2025, the revenues and expenses for the year, and the final accounting result.

It shows how the enterprise generated income, what costs were incurred, and whether the enterprise achieved profit or loss.

Even though micro‑enterprises submit shortened forms, the accuracy of the Annual Financial Report is essential. It must reflect the real financial situation of the enterprise. Proper preparation ensures compliance with the Accounting Act, correct tax reporting, reliable information for owners and institutions, avoidance of penalties, and a clear financial picture for future planning.
