In general, the chief accountant is the same employee as everyone else. At the same time, it is one of the key figures in the organization. In addition, along with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a number of nuances associated with its design are contained in Federal Law No. 129-FZ “On Accounting”.
Instructions
Step 1
The general procedure for hiring a chief accountant is typical: he writes an application addressed to the head of the organization, an employment contract is concluded with him (the whole range of options provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is possible: hiring with a trial period of up to 3 months and / or concluding a fixed-term contract for a period of up to 5 years or open-ended employment contract).
Step 2
In light of the fact that the post of chief accountant usually implies full financial responsibility, a separate agreement on such responsibility can be concluded with him. The typical text of this document can be found on the Internet and edited according to the needs of the organization and the specifics of its activities. The same applies to the issue of trade secrets, if it is relevant. All the necessary documents between the chief accountant and his employer are signed in accordance with the general procedure adopted by the organization and stipulated by the current legislation of the Russian Federation, but this procedure itself deserves separate consideration.
Step 3
The specifics of the registration of the chief accountant, arising from the law "On accounting", is that only the first person of the organization has the right to appoint and dismiss this position. Thus, and the corresponding order should come only from this first person: director, general director, president, etc. If the chief accountant has the right to sign on financial documents, this order will most likely want to be seen in the bank, where the company has a settlement check.
