ČÁST PRVNÍ

GENERAL PROVISIONS

("entities').
§ 2
Subject matter of accounting
Entities shall account in the system for double or simple accounting for the status and movement of assets and other assets, liabilities and other liabilities, expenses and income or expenses and income and the result of the management.
§ 3
(1) The entities shall account for the facts which are the subject of the accounts until the period to which those facts relate in time and in substance ("the accounting year"); If it is not possible to comply with this principle, they may also charge for the accounting year in which they have established those facts. In the accounting year, the entities shall account for those facts in accordance with accounting methods (Section 4 (2)); they shall account for all costs and revenues regardless of the time they are paid or received, whereas they shall account for all expenditure and revenue only when they are actually paid or received.
(2) The accounting year shall be continuous 12 months, unless otherwise specified. The accounting year shall either coincide with the calendar year or shall be the marketing year. The marketing year shall be the accounting year which may begin only on the first day of a month other than January. The accounting year immediately preceding the change in the accounting year may be shorter or longer than the 12 months indicated. The accounting period when an entity is formed in the three months preceding the end of the calendar year or when the entity is terminated in the three months following the end of the calendar year may be more than the 12 months indicated. In cases of transformation of companies or cooperatives, with the exception of a change in the legal form of the accounting year, it shall begin on the operative date in accordance with a separate law and end on the last day of the accounting year in which the information was entered in the business register, if it is a successor entity. In the case of an acquired entity, the accounting year shall end on the day preceding the relevant date in accordance with a specific legal act. Entities that are entrepreneurs may apply the marketing year only with the agreement of the tax administrator concerned. 1) Other entities may apply the marketing year only with the approval of the Ministry of Finance (hereinafter the Ministry).
(3) An entity may apply for an amendment to the accounting year referred to in paragraph 2, indicating the expected date and the reason for the change to the relevant tax administrator or the Ministry not later than three months before the date specified in the application. When deciding on an entity's application, the tax administrator shall proceed according to the Tax Administration Act or the Ministry according to the Administrative Rules; they shall take a decision on the request without delay, not later than 30 days after the initiation of the procedure. The tax administrator or the Ministry may refuse their approval only if they have objective and essential economic reasons. An entity may not apply the newly defined financial year before it receives the tax administrator's decision. If the reason for accepting the application of a newly defined financial year is omitted, the entity must inform the tax administrator or the Ministry again and ask for the amendment of the accounting year in accordance with the first sentence.
§ 4
(1) The entities referred to in § 1 (2) (a) and (c) are required to keep accounts under this Act from the date of their establishment until the date of their demise; the entities referred to in Paragraph 1 (2) (b) and (d) are required to keep accounts under this Act from the date of commencement of business until the date of termination of business.
(2) Entities are required to comply with the accounting records of the indicative book books, the layout and labelling of financial statements items and consolidated financial statements and the content of the items of those accounts, the content of the accounting books in the simple accounting system, as well as accounting methods such as valuation methods and their use, including the procedures for making and using adjustment items, depreciation and reserve creation and use procedures, as well as methods for consolidating financial statements. The classification of entities under Paragraph 1 (2) into individual groups according to the nature of their activities, accounting methods and their application by groups of entities or, where appropriate, by individual entities within those groups, shall be subject to the provisions of the implementing legislation.
(3) Entities are required to keep one accounting for the entity as a whole.
(4) Entities are required to keep accounts as a set of accounting records; they may use technical means, information media and software. The accounting record shall mean the data which bear the information relating to the subject matter of the accounting or its management. Any information relating to the subject matter of the accounting or its management shall be recorded solely by accounting records.
(5) Individual accounting records may be grouped in accounting records carrying the summary information; such accounting records shall be, in particular, accounting documents, accounting records, books, depreciation plan, inventories, accounting schedules, financial statements and annual report. Entities are required to keep such accounting records to the minimum specified by this Act.
(6) Entities are required to keep accounts in the currency of the Czech currency. In the case of receivables and liabilities, shares, (2) securities (3) and derivatives, (4) prices, if expressed in foreign currency, foreign exchange values (5) excluding gold, entities are required to use foreign currency at the same time; (6) where the assets and liabilities to which they relate are denominated in foreign currency.
(7) Entities are required to keep accounts in the Czech language. Accounting documents may be drawn up in a foreign language only if the condition of clarity laid down in Paragraph 8 (5) is met.
(8) Accountancy can only be considered as a whole as an information system under special legislation7.

§ 6
(1) Entities are required to recognise the facts that are the subject of accounting (hereinafter referred to as "accounting cases') by accounting documents.

(4) Entities are required to draw up the financial statements in accordance with Paragraph 18 as regular or, where appropriate, as exceptional or interim, and in addition, they shall draw up consolidated financial statements in the cases provided for in Section 22.
§ 7
(1) Entities are required to keep accounts in such a way that the financial statements drawn up on the basis of them give a true and fair view of the entity's subject matter and financial situation.
(2) The display is faithful if the contents of the financial statements' items correspond to the actual state which is shown in accordance with the accounting methods the entity is required to use under this Act. The display is fair when the accounting methods are used in a way that leads to the achievement of loyalty. Where an entity can choose between several options of the accounting method and the option chosen would mask the actual situation, an entity shall choose another option that corresponds to the actual situation. If, in exceptional cases, the application of the accounting methods set out in the implementing legislation is incompatible with the obligation under paragraph 1, the entity shall, by way of derogation, apply a fair and fair view.
(3) An entity is required to apply accounting methods in a manner that is based on the assumption that it will continue its activities continuously and that there is no fact that would restrict it or prevent it from continuing it in the foreseeable future. If an entity has information that such a fact occurs to it, it shall apply the accounting methods in a manner appropriate to that effect, and the information on the method used shall be included in the notes in the financial statements.
(4) The organisation and labelling of balance sheet items and profit and loss accounts, and their content and valuation methods used in one accounting year, may not change an entity in the following financial year. Entities may change those arrangements, labelling and content definitions and valuation methods in whole or in part between periods of accounting solely for reasons of change in the subject matter of business or other activity, or for reasons of precision of the faithful presentation or improvement of the reporting capacity of financial statements, the information on any such change with due justification being given in the notes to the financial statements.
(5) Entities shall always be required to provide information in the notes to the financial statements [Paragraph 18 (1) (c)] on the accounting methods used and, where applicable, on deviations from those methods in accordance with paragraph 2, with due justification for them and indicating their impact on the entity's assets and liabilities, financial position and outcome.
(6) Entities are required to account for assets and liabilities, costs and revenues or expenses and income in the books and to display them separately in the financial statements without clearing them. The infringement of mutual settlement is not a case governed by accounting methods.
§ 8
(1) Entities are required to keep the accounts accurate, complete, conclusive, understandable, clear and in a way that guarantees the continuity of the accounting records.
(2) The accounting of an entity is correct if the entity keeps accounting in such a way that it does not contradict or circumvent this law or other legislation.
(3) The accounting of an entity is complete when an entity has recorded in its books all accounting cases that it should have recorded in accordance with Paragraph 3 in the financial year, and at the latest by the end of that period it has drawn up for its immediately preceding financial years the financial statements and, where applicable, consolidated financial statements, prepared an annual report and, where appropriate, a consolidated annual report, published the information in accordance with Paragraph 21a and has all accounting records on these facts, and clearly arranged.
(4) An entity's accounting records are conclusive if all accounting records of such accounts are conclusive (Paragraph 33a) and the entity has made an inventory.
