Why businesses should not refuse from Seal said associate partner of law firm "Skliarenko, Sydorenko and Partners"

The document of the National Bank, which repeals the requirement to certify the next package of documents with seals, came into force. In particular, since yesterday, banks have been allowed to conduct transactions on payment orders of customers, open and close accounts on the basis of their letters, even if they do not bear a stamp of wet printing. Corresponding changes are fixed in the resolution of the regulator №95.

Why businesses should not hurry with breaks in practice and rely on the manager's signature on the document as a reliable way to protect - Yulia Stusenko associate partner of law firm "Skliarenko, Sydorenko and Partners", explained to the Portal UBR.ua.

According to the expert, refusal of seals on settlement documents can turn into serious trouble for business. "The impression of the seal is an additional protection against forgery of financial documents. It complicates the implementation of raider schemes and other fraudulent activities" said Yulia Stusenko.

She recommends that holders of bank accounts - legal entities to delayed with refusal to stamp on settlement and other financial documents. On the one hand, this will complicate the production of a fake document, on the other - it will allow in case of falsification of signatures to prove the fact that the company practices the submission of settlement documents solely with the presence of the seal.

For greater security, it will not be superfluous to include the provision in the charter of the legal entity that the signatures on settlement and other (if necessary) documents must be certified with an imprint of the seal.

"In the case of a fake signature without an imprint, the head of the company will be able to prove the fact of forgery and inconsistency of the document with the requirements of the company's charter," the expert believes.
