Companies have the obligation to file their accounts in the Mercantile Register. The filing of those accounts have several different documents or financial statements, among them the balance sheet of the company.
The filing of those accounts have several different documents or
financial statements: company's balance sheet, profit and loss account, net
worth changes status, EFE (Cash Flow Status) - (if applicable) and annual
financial report. At INFORMA we do process more than 720,000 balance sheets per
year and upload them on our database ; we are the company that most balance sheets purchases and uploads from
