GnuCash and Swedish accounting legislation

[Katie Eldridge]

Dear Draug,
For this type of question, I would probably speak to your accountant, or 
if necessary a legal specialist in Sweden.  Then you would know 
definitely whether the limits provided by the software are sufficient to 
meet your obligations.
