Ziler

On 28 July 2023, draft bill 8286 was released with the goal of revamping Luxembourg's accounting laws applicable to undertakings (referred to as the "New Law"). This initiative seeks to modernise the existing law from 19 December 2002 (known as the "Accounting Law") and consolidate all accounting requirements into a single statute. Currently, these requirements are spread across the commercial code, commercial law, and accounting law. Simultaneously, the scope of the Accounting Law is expanded to include FCPs (Fonds Commun de Placement), temporary commercial companies, commercial companies in participation, civil companies, agricultural associations, mutual insurance associations, and pension-savings associations.

These changes are anticipated to enhance clarity for all users and readers, particularly in relation to requirements that may not have been self-explanatory. Additionally, the amendments aim to incorporate accounting doctrines and market practices into the Accounting Law.
