8 th Edition of the cross-border meeting 1 – 3 July 2014 Moscow Paul Van Geyt

2 The future of the accountant profession 1.Introduction The past: Belgian legislation 1999 for the Institute of Accountants The actual situation: influence EU rules and IFAC standards: corner stone= quality and independence!

3 The future 2. Two important points: - highest quality possible by competence and independence = enhance credibility on: annual accounts = national consolidation = international

4 The future - for who? investors all stakeholders (clients) to create a maximum credibility = overall importance for the economy in general

Maximum credibility!

6 The Belgian evolution - experience 1.Remember: 3 Belgian Institutes: -IRE (auditors) -IEC (accountants) -IBCF (bookkeepers) 2. Quality control: only legally for IRE not for accountants and bookkeepers!

7 What is new? QC for accountants!! - decision council IEC: introduction of a new professional standard on QC (no law) - first start in 2014 with try out on free basis - official start in 2015

How not in practice?

9 How in practice? A new professional standard QC 7 May 2012: - establishing a control committee - QC becomes mandated - spirit of collegiality and help

10 First phase 2014 = pilot phase with goal: - principle: more help than sanctions - control on: respect standards, internal organization and procedures, adapted fully necessity of professional work and on the size of the firm - exchange of experience - permanent education: standards + deontology

11 The official start 2015 Goal: control all individual members + firms Principle: ultimate decision results QC by the Council IEC Institute But: practical organization Control Commission

12 Basic rules QC in Systematic control every member 7 years -Incident controls: facts or complaints -Thematic controls : some aspects -If negative-deficiencies: improvement plan + control afterwards

13 Role QC Control Commission -elaboration procedures, instructions and tools (manual) -Establish annual control program -Final judgment on QC results -Propose list of controllers

14 Role QC Control Commission -Education controllers and follow up -Annual report on results QC -Ultimate decision by Council Institute

15 Actual overview situation of the accountants QC -May 2012: installation Control Commission -2013: publication website: ‘white book quality’ -2014: Publication manual ‘organization of the firm and procedures’, questionnaire for controllers, selection and education of controllers, preparation control work

16 Actual situation of the accountants QC For controllers: organization direct contact with Control Commission and tools on website -Start of practice QC: on free basis! but: all members of Council IEC and the Control Commission will have the QC on their firm or person!

17 Future: Base: evaluation results pilot phase Start of regular QC on following rules:. Every 7 year for everyone members= 300 QC a year. Question list send to each controlled member

18 Future: List controllers send in advance: refuse? -After QC discussion with controlled accountant -Result in report to QC Commission -Decision QC Control Commission BUT: emphasis on help, coaching, follow up + advices on improvements

19 General Conclusion Central point in this story: Societal role of accountants! - person of confidence enterprises - independent function - build on competence + correct service - more important in great complexity of regulation and international standards

20 Conclusion QC = enormous challenge for the profession to bring high quality of their work in an environment of great complexity of rules and legislation, = gives professionals the necessary credibility and a clear message to all stakeholders, especially to their clients.

21 A clear message QC is not a pleasant thing but necessary, even on a free base for accountants. Future legislation? Probably! So be prepared!

Final Conclusion

23 Final Conclusion The future of the profession= Quality for ever and always!! Thank you for your attention.
