    Criminal compliance in Spain: 10 years after the reform of the Criminal Code

    Debt Recovery

    Carrying out proper debt collection management is essential for all businesses. This is more evident in exceptional circumstances like the present, where cash flow is the focus of any company and managers and owners realize its importance for business survival. Often, this task becomes laborious for many of them, who have to deal with clients who fail to meet their payment commitments, leading to financial problems for their business. This can affect their growth, as sometimes they must resort to alternative financing sources to continue existing and, in the worst case, can be dragged to closure due to lack of liquidity. For this reason, it is very important that every company has a debt collection policy, implementing methodologies that allow it to be more effective and, consequently, avoid the serious problems that delinquency entails.

    When do I have to audit my annual accounts?

    Commercial law establishes various circumstances in which companies are required to submit their annual accounts for audit. The main obligation arises when the company exceeds certain economic thresholds or finds itself in special circumstances, such as bankruptcy or liquidation, in which case the verification of accounts is also mandatory.
