Short answers
Frequently asked questions
Can the interim specialist sign the financial statements?
No. Under the Romanian Accounting Law (no. 82/1991), the annual financial statements are signed by the director and by the person who runs the accounting: the employed finance director or chief accountant, or a CECCAR-authorised professional accountant. Our specialist prepares and reviews the figures, coordinates the close and works with the auditor; the signatures remain with the persons the law requires.
Who is responsible for the work performed?
Mazilu & Partners, under the services contract: we organise the work, coordinate it and are responsible for it. Management decisions remain with the company.
Independence
We do not provide this service to our statutory audit clients.
