About the statistical basis

The statistics for 2007 are a total census based on tax questionnaires on accounting from a total of 193 224 non-financial limited and public limited companies. In cases when the tax questionnaires on accounting are missing, annual reports are used. Annual reports are the sources of almost 6 per cent of the companies in the statistics, but they account for only 1 per cent of total operating income and total assets.

 

The statistics cover company accounts but do not cover consolidated accounts. The statistics show the accounting and aggregate values based on accounting and tax legislation. The values do not necessarily give a good picture of the real value or market value of the assets in every case.

 

As from the financial year 2005, Norwegian companies have had the possibility to use international accounting standards (IFRS). In the financial year 2007 about 400 companies used international accounting standards. The transition to international accounting standards affects the comparability of the accounting figures, for example the way assets are valued.
