Who Approves the Company’s Financial Statements?
The Company’s Financial Statement is approved by the Board of Directors before they are signed by the shareholders. The Financial Statement must be signed by 2 directors, or if a company has only 1 director then he/she can sign the statement on the same day of the audit. Once the directors have signed those documents then shareholders can approve and ratify the documents.
