Federal Revenue is going to identify professional unfitness of accountants with data exchange between ECD and CFC

Published on January 12 by the Federal Revenue Special Office, Technical Note ECD – Escrituração Contábil Digital No. 001/2022 stipulates new rules regarding ECD transmission on the topic of accounting professional’s fitness, according to Federal Accounting Council’s (Conselho Federal de Contabilidade, or CFC) records.

That means there is going to be a data exchange of ECD with the CFC’s database. Therefore, in the ECD transmission as from 2022, a warning may be issued to identify accountants who are deemed as “unfit” in CFC’s records and might be signing the assessment.

As stated in the Technical Note, for the May 2022, submission, the final deadline predicted for submitting the ECD concerning the calendar-year 2021, the warning is not going to be impeditive in the assessment’s transmission. When the unfitness information is received, the user may opt for the continuation of the submission process.
