Single window for companies: professionals demand a restart of the old system

The French Institute of Chartered Accountants and Auditors (Ifec) published a “white paper” on Wednesday listing numerous failures that could affect the Single Window: “non-existent city or address names, unable to sign, requesting useless documents.” , delegation of payment, obligation to fill in information already transmitted, formalities not confirmed without explanation…”.

The Institute says it collected 3,600 signatures on Jan. 10 from certified public accountants, lawyers, notaries, commercial court clerks, employers and employers’ organizations denouncing these violations.

Professionals do not dispute the one-stop-shop principle, but condemn the conditions for its launch, which, in their opinion, create legal and economic risks for companies that cannot fulfill their formalities. The government has promised that the new platform will be fully operational by the end of February.

“It didn’t work before the hack”

“It’s a scandal, we might be taken for fools,” Ifec President Christophe Prym enthused during a press conference the day after SME Ministerial Delegate Olivia Grégoire made a statement to the Assembly, acknowledging the “difficulties” on the new platform, but attributing them to a “computer attack”.

Christophe Prim recalled that on December 15, in a letter to Olivia Gregoire, he asked for a delay in entry into force and regretted that he was not heard.

“It doesn’t work there because it was hacked, but it still didn’t work before” On January 1, when going through the INPI website, there was still no mandatory passage to complete company formalities, such as creation, status modification or cancellation, Emmanuel said during the same conference Askin, president of ACE – Lawyers, an association of business consulting firms.
