The main task of the Register of the Reporting Obligations
of Enterprises is to maintain a constantly updated overview
of the reporting obligations business and industry have, and
to find ways to coordinate and simplify these obligations.
The aim is to prevent the unnecessary compilation and registration
of information, particularly for small and medium-sized companies.
The Register of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises maintains
an overview of the information the various registers and agencies
require from business and industry. The information supplied
by each business enterprise is not registered by the Register
of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises, but by the authorities
in question, as has been the case up to now.
The Register of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises
compares forms from various public authorities. If two or
more public authorities ask the same questions of the same
type of company, these authorities shall then collaborate
so that the question is asked only once. Under the Act relating
to the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises, the public authorities
must coordinate their reporting activities. The Register of
the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises also maintains an
overview of the permits that are required to operate within
various businesses and industries, and provides information
on how to obtain such permits.
Currently the register is restricted to business and industry's
reporting obligations to the central authorities. Eventually
reporting obligations required by county and municipal authorities
will also be included.
In order to protect privacy, not all information can be exchanged
between the various government agencies. Only agencies allowed
to request similar information directly from the business
enterprise may have access to the data from another agency.
A business enterprise may obtain answers to a number of questions
regarding its own reporting obligations from the Register
of the Reporting Obligations of Enterprises:
- Which reporting obligations apply to me?
- Where can I obtain a particular form and instructions?
- Which public agencies will be allowed to see the information
I submit?
