The upgraded Registry has brought new technology solutions, more data and new functionalities. The innovation is that all accounts of legal entities are now in the Registry, whereas previously it only contained transaction accounts. Furthermore, the Registry is based on a real-time working, which implies that the data are collected continuously during working hours and are processed as such.
This implies that they are more up-to-date than with the previous Registry, and this is very important, bearing in mind that the data from the Registry are essential for banks, tax authorities, administration bodies, law enforcement agencies and other levels of government when disclosing financial structures and transactions that companies and individuals can use in illegal manner.
The Registry also provides information to all legal and physical entities who have to make forced debt collection through authorized institutions. Also, a very important news is that institutions and authorities of all levels of government have the possibility of direct access to the Registry via the Internet.
