Explains some issues of submission of accounting reports by organisations to the territorial bodies of statistics. Emphasises that an organisation must submit accounting reports on the forms developed and adopted by it. Submission of accounting reports according to the recommended specimens implies an incomplete fulfilment by organisations of the requirements of the normative documents on accounting work.

Informs that refusal of the tax bodies to accept accounting reports of the organisation because of the absence of the note (stamp) of the territorial body of statistics of submission of accounting reports to it is not in compliance with the requirements of the legislation.
