Key Principles of Archiving in Sweden

• Retention Requirements: All accounting information, both paper and electronic, must be retained for seven years in Sweden, with specific conditions allowing temporary storage abroad for vouchers and electronic documents.
• Responsibilities: Sole proprietors are personally accountable for preserving accounting records, while legal entities must ensure compliance through designated responsible individuals, such as CEOs or board members.
• Storage Conditions: Accounting records must be stored securely and in an organized manner, with accessibility for audits, and electronic documents must be backed up regularly to prevent data loss.
