A Norwegian company's annual accounts (årsregnskap) are public and obtained from the Register of Company Accounts via brreg.no.

The manual process today

Tracking a portfolio's accounts by hand means keeping your own watch list, re-searching each company on a schedule, opening every new filing, and copying the figures into a spreadsheet — because nothing tells you when a new årsregnskap lands.

6No notification when new accounts are filed

Step 1 — Keep your own list of companies to watch

Maintain your own list of the organisasjonsnummer you care about — the registry has no concept of a watch list.

Step 2 — Re-search each in Regnskapsregisteret on a schedule

Re-search each company in Regnskapsregisteret on a schedule you set yourself.

Step 3 — Open the latest årsregnskap

Open the latest filed årsregnskap for each company and read the figures.

Step 4 — Compare key figures against last time

Compare the key figures — revenue, result, balance-sheet total — against the values you recorded last time.

Step 5 — Maintain your own spreadsheet

Copy the figures into your own spreadsheet, the only place the history actually lives.

Step 6 — Re-check by hand, since there is no notification

Re-check by hand on every cycle: there is no notification when a new set of accounts is filed.
