The legal and notary professions are examples of sectors with specific laws and regulations.
For example, the notarial profession falls under the integral supervision of the Bureau Financieel Toezicht (BFT). Among other things, this means that there are different criteria (see also “Am I legally required to have an audit” on this website) for determining whether an accountant needs to be appointed to provide assurance on the annual accounts of a notary’s office.
Depending on the size, this may be an assurance engagement to provide limited assurance (a review engagement) or a reasonable level of assurance (an audit engagement).
There is also a specific Accountant Protocol Notariaat BFT and reporting is mandatory under Standard 4400 Engagements to perform agreed-upon specific activities.

At The Audit Company, we have the specialist knowledge to carry out these assignments for you in combination with our personal approach.

The legal profession reports the annual accounts with financial key figures to the dean in accordance with the Verordering op de advocatuur (Voda).
So specific regulations also apply here, although assurance is usually not provided.

Even if you are looking for non-assurance services within the notarial and legal professions, such as advice, preparing tax returns or compiling annual accounts, please contact us.
We would be happy to help you from our network organization BVL & Co.
