Do the following 

1. Fill in the annual statement and its attachments in the e-service within three months of the end of the accounting period.

The easiest way to submit an annual statement is to use the Guardianship E-service. The service will guide you in providing the required information, which means that you do not need a separate annual statement form. If you wish, you can save the statement as a draft and continue filling it in later. The preparation of future annual statements will be easier when the information you provide now is used as foundational data in them. The Guardianship e-service is available in Finnish and Swedish language.

The annual statement is usually made for the previous year (1 January to 31 December). In this case, you must submit it to us no later than 31 March the following year.

2. We will process the annual statement and return it to you after the inspection. 

Remember to keep the audited annual statement. It may contain entries that you must take into account as a guardian when managing your client's affairs in the future. 


3. Keep the documents accumulated during the guardianship for another three years after the end of your task.  

As a guardian, you have the duty to keep all documents accumulated during the guardianship. Even after three years, you may not destroy the documents, but you must hand them over either to your client's estate, to your client's new guardian or to your client.
