The legal profession and the notary profession are examples of industries with specific laws and regulations.
For example, the notary profession is subject to integral supervision by the Financial Supervision Bureau (BFT). Among other things, this means that there are different criteria (see also “Am I legally required to audit” on this website) for determining whether an auditor should be appointed to provide assurance on the financial statements 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.
