Reform of accountancy profession certification was conducted in connection with the transformation of the social and economic system and with the process of the Slovak Republic's integration into European structures. This process required not only adjustments in legislation but also the harmonization of Slovak accounting with the accounting of the European Union (EU). After the reforms the Slovak accounting system will be acceptable in every country of the European Union.
A goal of this certification project is to achieve EU standards for its accounting profession and to raise Slovak accountants to the same level as accountants in the other countries of the European Union. The accounting profession is valued as one of the most reputable and irreplaceable professions and it plays an important role in all business activities.
