If the chief accountant or accounting department is not doing their job, this is a reason to think about optimizing accounting and switching to outsourcing. Warnings that indicate that the company is not all right with the accountant are:
‍
— frequent fines, inspections by the tax inspectorate and other regulatory authorities
— counter-party complaints about incorrectly executed documents and requests to redo them
— regular absence of accountants from the workplace due to training, courses, and seminars
— constant problems, nagging other employees related to conducting transactions, maintaining accounting records. Statements of "you can't do this" without offering solutions to problems
— the need for the manager to constantly monitor the accountant or solve extraneous issues that are not related to the main activity
— disproportionately growing expenses for the maintenance of the accounting department, the constant expansion of its staff, the opening of new divisions for accounting: personnel, primary documents, settlement, etc.
— systemic involvement of third-party specialists providing accounting services for consulting, auditing, and problem solving
