Fast facts

The need-to-know facts
In general, the amendments to the list of requirements for the reporting submission have been changed since 2017. Yet, the regulations on regulatory submission and publishing enter into force in 2019. The requirements to the financial reporting package are directly related to the type of an enterprise.
