Annual reports
Year-end packs still sit on shared drives with no record of who signed them. When an auditor asks for last year's report, finance rebuilds it from email attachments and leftover folders.
Hypervault stores each annual report as an encrypted EU vault item — year, company, metrics, and the signed file — with permissions limited to finance, leadership, and named advisers.
Why store Annual reports in a digital vault
Drafts get treated as the filed report
Unsigned Word copies keep circulating after the PDF is locked. A vault item with approval status makes the filed version obvious.
Metrics drift from the signed numbers
Key figures copied into decks are never reconciled to the attachment. Keeping summary and metrics next to the file stops that split.
Sign-off lives in a calendar invite
Board approval is a meeting note, not a field. Status on the item shows whether the pack is draft, reviewed, or filed.
Former directors still have the Drive folder
Year-end files outlast board terms. Vault permissions can be revoked without hunting every shared link.
Who uses this template
Finance directors
File the signed report with year, company, and metrics in one vault item instead of a year-end zip.
External accountants
Receive a permissioned link to the approved pack rather than a mailbox full of revisions.
Board secretaries
Track approval status on the report itself, not in a side spreadsheet.
Fields in this template
Keep every record complete and easy to find. Existing fields stay as they are; extras are added only when a vault item would otherwise be incomplete.
- Report year
- Company name
- Financial summary
- Key metrics
- Attachments
- Approval status
