The National Conference of CECCAR. Elections for the Body’s Superior Council

The central management of the Body of Expert and Licensed Accountants of Romania (CECCAR), presidents of the CECCAR branches and representatives of members from all around the country gathered together on Saturday, 14 April, in the County of Alba, for the National Conference of CECCAR. The proceedings, which took place in accordance with the effective regulations, focused on CECCAR’s activities during 2017, as well as on this year’s objectives, while also reconfirming the confidence and support of the Body’s members in regard to the professional institute’s strategic direction.

The discussion between the CECCAR management and the branches’ delegates resulted in a change to the date on which professional accountants annually celebrate the “National Day of the Romanian Accountant”. The event, which is celebrated simultaneously all around the country under the auspices of the CECCAR branches, to promote the professional accountant’s image, interests and role in a competitive market economy, will take place on 13 July from this year forward. 97 years ago, on 13 July 1921, King Ferdinand I approved the Law on the organization of the Body of Licensed Accountants and Expert Accountants in Romania, as an independent professional body, through Royal Decree no. 3036, thus regulating the accounting profession in our country.

During the National Conference on 14 April, the representatives of the territorial branches of the professional body elected the new members of the Superior Council, approved the changes and supplements to the Regulation regarding the practical training period and the skills examination for the qualifications of expert and licensed accountants, and the changes and supplements to the Organizational and Operational Regulations of CECCAR.

At this moment of reckoning, the CECCAR President, Prof. Robert-Aurelian Șova, PhD, presented a review of the prior year for the entire professional body, reporting to the delegates on the activities of 2017, the annual financial statements and the results of CECCAR’s financial activities as at 31 December 2017. In addition, as part of the event’s agenda, the representatives of the territorial branches received reports regarding the activities of the Discipline Commissions attached to the CECCAR Branches’ Councils, as well as information from the 2017 Report of the Superior Discipline Commission attached to the Body’s Superior Council.

The President of CECCAR’s Superior Council placed a significant emphasis during his speech at the National Conference on the plans for the future, as reflected in the action plan. In addition, the subjects approached during the event included the approval of the income and expense budget for the current year, the methodology for obtaining the annual visa for practicing the expert and licensed accountant profession, the CECCAR members’ contributions system and the report regarding the organization and proceedings of the General Assemblies and Elections organized by the Body’s Branches during the first months of this year.
