Accounting management is of paramount importance in court enforcement officer firms. Involving numerous stakeholders, while being complex and time-consuming, it must be simplified.
Former bailiffs must keep an up-to-date list of all the cases they handle, including a wide range of information:
This list allows legal professionals to monitor case progress, and to ensure that the revenue covers the costs and fees associated with each case.
Court enforcement officers must draw up regular bank reconciliation statements to check that their seizures and bank transactions tally.
Accounting in a firm also includes overheads. These include employee, office equipment, advertising, travel, training and professional development costs, and other ongoing expenses.
Finally, it is also important for court enforcement officers to prepare their mandatory tax and accounting declarations, such as VAT, income tax, and business tax. It is this ministerial officer's duty to comply with all legal and fiscal obligations in force, and to avoid any sanctions or fines.
