What they are and what they include

What translation of financial statements is

Financial statements are the set of documents with which a company or group reports its financial position: the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the notes, in their individual or consolidated version. Translating them calls for command of accounting terminology under different frameworks (Spanish GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP) and absolute numerical precision: every figure, line item and note must reconcile in the target language. They are mainly requested for investor and parent-company reporting, for due diligence and financing processes, and for audits of international groups. When the document needs official validity, we deliver it as a sworn translation. If what you need is specifically to translate the annual accounts filed with the Commercial Registry, we have a dedicated page for that procedure.

Investor and parent-company reporting

Periodic and interim statements for shareholders, funds and the parent company, consistent across reporting periods and currencies.

Consolidated group statements

Consolidated accounts of international groups, with line-item equivalence between Spanish GAAP, IFRS and US GAAP.

Due diligence and financing

Financial statements for M&A deals, financing rounds and investor reviews, in full confidence.

Audit support

Financial statements that accompany the audit report, coordinated with the translation of audits when they are needed together.

Simple or sworn

Do your financial statements need a sworn translation?

Most translations of financial statements are simple, for investor or parent-company reporting. But when they must take official effect before a third party, a sworn translation is required. We help you determine what you need.

Most common use

Simple translation

Financial statements for reporting to investors, the parent company or the board, and for group consolidation. Accounting and numerical precision come first, without an official seal.

  • Periodic reporting to investors and parent company
  • Consolidation of international groups
  • Due diligence and financing rounds
  • Interim and internal management statements
With official validity

Sworn translation

When the statements must be submitted to a public authority, a registry, a bank or a third party with legal validity. It bears the signature and seal of a translator accredited by the MAEC.

What the price depends on

There is no single rate: every set of financial statements is different. The price is calculated from these four factors, which is why we need to see the document before giving you a firm figure.

The languageThe language combination and the availability of specialised accounting translators for that pair.
The actual volumeThe document’s effective length, not its apparent page count.
ComplexityLength of the notes, density of tables, notes and accounting breakdowns.
UrgencyIf you have a tight deadline, we check feasibility and prioritise where possible.

When financial statements need to be sworn

Official validity, when it’s needed

Most translations of financial statements are simple, for internal, investor or due diligence reporting. But when the statements must take effect before a public authority, a foreign commercial registry, a bank or a third party —filing, tenders, court proceedings— a sworn translation may be required, signed and sealed by an officially accredited sworn translator-interpreter. You can check accreditation by language in the official search tool of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The general framework is governed, among other rules, by Royal Decree 724/2020 (BOE), which regulates the Language Interpreting Office and the role of the sworn translator. If your procedure is international, an apostille or legalisation may also be required depending on the country.

At Trayma we review the destination country and body with you before issuing the final version, to recommend the safest delivery format and avoid follow-up requests.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about translating financial statements

What does a set of financial statements include?
Usually: the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the notes, in their individual or consolidated version, often with the management report. We translate the whole set with consistent terminology across statements and reporting periods.
What is the difference between financial statements and annual accounts?
“Annual accounts” is the Spanish GAAP term for the financial statements that are drawn up and filed with the Commercial Registry. “Financial statements” is the broader, international concept, which also includes consolidated, interim or IFRS- or US GAAP-based statements. If what you need is the registry filing, we have the annual accounts translation page.
Do you work with IFRS and US GAAP, not just Spanish GAAP?
Yes. Our translators handle terminology under different accounting frameworks (Spanish GAAP, IFRS and US GAAP) and take care of line-item equivalence between them, which is key in international group reporting and consolidation.
Does the translation of my financial statements have to be sworn?
It depends on the use. For investor or parent-company reporting, or for due diligence, a simple translation is usually enough. If the statements must be filed with a foreign registry, submitted in a tender, to a bank or in proceedings, a sworn translation is required. We confirm what you need before we start.
How do you guarantee confidentiality and numerical accuracy?
We sign an NDA, use secure channels and limit access to the assigned team. On accuracy, we keep a line-item glossary and do a final review in which we check that every figure, total and note reconciles in the target language.
Can you also translate the audit report for those statements?
Yes. It’s common to translate financial statements together with their audit report. We coordinate it with the translation of audits so the terminology is consistent between both documents.
