Starting November 29, 2024, a major regulatory change will significantly impact how businesses file their financial statements. Companies that fail to meet their accounting obligations now face stricter sanctions, as any third party can initiate a legal supervision procedure without needing to prove a legitimate interest.
What’s at Stake?
A missed deadline for publishing an annual financial statement—whether due to an overwhelmed accountant or an unexpected disruption—can now lead to serious legal and financial consequences. Business partners, creditors, or even competitors can take immediate action, potentially threatening your company’s reputation and operations.
Key Changes You Need to Know
- No more legal interest requirement: Any third party can now trigger a regulatory oversight procedure without proving a direct legal stake. This opens the door to potential misuse, as even competitors may exploit this rule to put pressure on businesses.
- Stricter reporting obligations: Failure to publish required documents—such as audit reports or sustainability reports—now carries increased risks of penalties. Ensuring timely compliance has never been more critical.
