Centre of Registers authorisations for accountants: how to grant, revoke and keep track of them

For an accounting firm to submit data on a client's behalf to the Register of Legal Entities and the systems run by the Centre of Registers (for example, the annual financial statements), the client must grant an electronic authorisation through the Centre of Registers self-service.

How the client grants an authorisation

1. The client's manager logs in to the Centre of Registers self-service.
2. Under "Authorisations" they create a new authorisation, specifying the agent (the accounting firm or a specific person), the scope of actions and the validity period.
3. The authorisation is signed electronically and becomes active.

An authorisation can be tied to specific actions (e.g. filing financial statements only) or to a broader scope.

Possible authorisation statuses

• Created / awaiting confirmation – the authorisation is drawn up but not all parties have signed.
• Valid – the intended actions can be carried out.
• Rejected – one of the parties did not confirm.
• Expired – the validity period has ended.
• Cancelled – revoked early (any party can do this).

Where problems usually arise

• Expired term. The authorisation was granted for, say, one year, and after a year it no longer allows statements to be filed – often noticed on the last day.
• Too narrow a scope. The authorisation does not cover all the required actions.
• The client revoked the authorisation when changing accountant but did not say so.

How to track it

Žymeklis collects Centre of Registers notifications about authorisations on the same principle as tax returns: it shows each client's authorisation status in one place – from creation to expiry – so an ending term is visible in advance, not on filing day.
