“Where you belong”: The framework for declarations is being reformed and simplified – What changes does the bill promote

A bill of the Ministry of Justice on the “submission of declarations of property status (whereabouts) and financial interests” was put into public consultation, according to which the legislative framework for the submission of declarations of whereabouts (statements of property and financial interests) is reformed and at the same time the declaration submission process is simplified.

In particular, one of the proposed innovations of the bill is the one with which the inconvenience of those liable to collect the data of the declaration themselves ceases, as it is now easily available to the auditing body.

In particular, according to the draft law of the Ministry of Justice, the procedures for submission and control of “whereabouts” declarations are codified in a simplified and comprehensible piece of legislation. At the same time, the framework for conducting checks by the competent bodies is fully modernized and clarified.

In more detail, with the proposed provisions of the bill:

• The existing fragmented and ultimately difficult to understand legislative framework is “arranged” legislatively, including the current 49 cases of debtors in just 13 comprehensible categories.

• The anachronistic and unnecessary inconvenience of those liable to collect the declaration data that is readily available to the auditing body themselves ceases.

• Clear and measurable objectives are set for the competent audit body to carry out audits, through the introduction of criteria set by the Audit Committee and the definition of a minimum percentage (minimum ceiling) of audited cases.

• The multiplicity of instructions and directions from the auditors that lead to different treatment of the obligees by the auditors on similar cases is eliminated, through the delimitation and supervision of the audit framework by a single body (i.e. one body will now give clear instructions and directions to the auditors ).
