In 2025, proposed changes to K regulations will affect many companies accounting in Sweden that currently use K2 or K3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">K2 and K3: What are They?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>K2 and K3 are two of four \u2018K regulation\u2019 categories used for annual reporting in Sweden. A company\u2019s size and operations affect which categories they are able to use for their annual accounts.

While the smallest businesses exempt from auditing will be able to continue using K2, <a href=\"https:\/\/srfkonsult.se\/for-branschen\/viktiga-branschfragor\/srf-konsulterna-om-oversynen-av-k-regelverken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the ultimate goal is for more companies to move to K3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The following companies currently using K2 will soon be <a href=\"https:\/\/srfkonsult.se\/for-branschen\/viktiga-branschfragor\/srf-konsulterna-om-oversynen-av-k-regelverken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">required to use K3<\/a>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Those with significant deferred tax items or buildings with varying useful lives.<\/li><li>Condominium associations (regardless of size), to ensure fair and comparable accounting.<\/li><li>Companies of any size that have at least one foreign branch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>K2 regulations will also be refined and clarified where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">These clarifications and <a href=\"https:\/\/srfkonsult.se\/for-branschen\/viktiga-branschfragor\/srf-konsulterna-om-oversynen-av-k-regelverken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changes include<\/a>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Clearer rules on what should be included in the \u2018raw materials and supplies\u2019 item.<\/li><li>Clarifications on when shareholder contributions can be reported.<\/li><li>Clarifications on the accrual of rent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does This Mean for Businesses Accounting in Sweden?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses currently using K2 that do not have an accounting consultant will need to reassess whether they still have simpler conditions that allow them to <a href=\"https:\/\/srfkonsult.se\/for-branschen\/viktiga-branschfragor\/srf-konsulterna-om-oversynen-av-k-regelverken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continue using K2<\/a> (e.g., not having one or more foreign branch). If it is determined that the company needs to start using K3, preparations should be made for this shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Will the Changes Come Into Force?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A final decision is expected to be made during the second quarter of next year, and changes will likely come into force <a href=\"https:\/\/srfkonsult.se\/for-branschen\/viktiga-branschfragor\/srf-konsulterna-om-oversynen-av-k-regelverken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for financial years after December 2025<\/a>.
