Why is the “Other Documents” option selected by default?
The default selection of the “Other Documents” option in the PDF of the financial statements is due to recent changes in the submission platform of the National Bank of Belgium (NBB). The new platform has replaced the old Sofista system and now allows accountants to submit documents separately. This means that the financial statements can be submitted first, and attachments can be added later.
Does Silverfin support split submission?
No, Silverfin does not support the split submission feature. Our product experts, in consultation with the ITAA, decided not to include this feature, as it was considered impractical for accountants. Split submission would require additional follow-up, which could be inefficient.
Why is “Other Documents” automatically checked?
The “Other Documents” option is automatically selected because the financial statements generated via Silverfin are always considered final. This means that the PDF contains both the full financial statements and any attachments in a single document. This is designed to make the submission process efficient and align with the final nature of the financial reporting process.
What does this mean for me as a user?
For you as a user, this means you don't need to take extra steps to add attachments after submitting the financial statements. Everything is submitted at once, simplifying the process and saving time.
