Accounting, Independent Financial Audit and Sustainability Reporting (some critical remarks on legislative changes)

In the summer of 2024, relatively quickly and without wider public interest, the successive amendments and supplements to the Accountancy Act and the Independent Financial Audit and Assurance of Sustainability Reporting Act were adopted.

They are required by the need to transpose the European requirements regarding sustainability reporting and auditing into our national legislation. This paper makes a critical analysis of the amendments and supplements made to the two acts, as well as their relationship with the practice in Bulgaria.
