Your translated annual report – an important part of your image

An annual report is a comprehensive publication that often contains a large amount of text and figures. The sheer volume of material, the involvement of multiple authors and updates during the process can make the translation task challenging and complex. So finding a translation agency and translators who get to know your business well by becoming a long-term supplier can be a great advantage.

Annual reports and financial statements place high demands on the translator, so it’s important to find the right person for each project. Because annual reports also include descriptive sections in addition to figures and tables, the documents can look significantly different depending on the industry and company concerned. Thus an annual report for a company in the steel industry differs quite a lot from a report for a company in, say, medical technology, even though the purely financial parts may be similar.

Thus in addition to being well-versed in the terminology and phraseology of financial reports, the translator must also be familiar with the industry concerned and the company-specific terms for your particular sector. And because it’s also essential that the translator learn a company's tone of voice and style, we try as far as possible to ensure the same translator for all your texts.

The translator also has to be familiar with accounting standards, guidelines and regulations such as FAR, IFRS and US GAAP, as well as keep up with the rapid developments in these fields and stay abreast of emerging regulations such as CSRD, CSDDD and ESRS.

Major projects such as annual reports and stock market flotations often involve a great deal of text, and many different documents with amendments and updates in several stages. Thus not only does this require a translator with the right expertise, but also a meticulous and experienced project manager. Translation often has to get underway before the final source-language version has been approved by all bodies, which means changes will also be made during the course of the work. In such a case, it’s vital for the project manager to be in complete control of the process and the various versions in circulation.

Our project managers are expert at setting up processes for revision versions, comments, last-minute press releases and short delivery times. The more information you can give us about publication dates, audit committee meetings, board meetings and anything else that may affect planning, the better. Get in touch with us as early in the process as possible, and we’ll find a good solution together and book your translator in good time.

Financial reports contain sensitive information no matter the type or size of a company, but the requirements for confidentiality are of course especially high in the case of listed companies, as absolutely nothing may leak out prematurely. Accordingly, all translators and language reviewers who work with us have signed confidentiality agreements. If your company also has insider lists or other agreements you would like us to sign before material can be released, this is naturally not a problem. Our project managers will then review the matter in detail with you before the project starts. We also protect the material we deliver by packaging it in secure environments and platforms.
