If requested, the self-registrant or the LEAR/Account Administrator (when already appointed) must provide recent financial information (supporting documents).
You are required to provide financial supporting documentation only when the icon appears in the data group and navigation menu:


To fulfil the request, click on the button.

A pop-up window will allow you to provide documents containing the financial information of your organisation. First, select the closing date to which the documents refer.  You are requested to provide information for the last two consecutive financial years for which closed and approved annual accounts are available. You must insert the closing date of the latest of the two years. Depending on the selected date, the system will calculate the financial year. The financial statements for an accounting year with a closing date before June 30 are considered by the IT systems as related to the prior calendar year (e.g. if your accounting year's closing date is 31/03/2020, the financial year which will appear will be 2019).




Tip: It is not possible to type the dates. To navigate from one year to another, click on the current year. This will change the view from a monthly one into a yearly one, where you can easily change from one year to another without going month per month. Moreover, if you click twice on the current year, instead of one-year view, it will give you a multi-year overview. Thus, you will be able to select the year first, then the month and finally a concrete day.

Once the financial year has been entered, scroll down to the Financial Statements section and the button will be available.

Follow the steps according to your situation:

Upload new document(s)

If you wish to upload new documents you must chose Upload new document in the following screen after clicking and carry out the following steps:

  1. Browse for the file. The maximum size per document is 6 megabyte.
  2. Select the financial type of document. If you have a single document comprising all the requested financial information you can use the document type "Generic financial document type". If you upload a declaration on the validity of the accounts, you can use the document type “External Auditor’s report”.
  3. If you wish you can provide a short description of the file (not mandatory, to be used only if there are some specificities to be highlighted).
  4. Select the closing dates to which the document relates.
  5. Click on the Upload button.

Repeat the operation to upload the documents you want to submit for your financial capacity assessment. Click on the Confirm button once you have uploaded all the required documents.

When finished, select the three declarations in the checklist and click on Submit.

After submitting the documents, the icon will disappear from the data group and the navigation menu and a light blue Data provided label will appear in the Financial Capacity section, next to the View button:

After submitting the documents, you will not be able to add further documentation any more unless you are specifically requested to do so by the Central Validation Service.

Use previously uploaded documents

You can also use financial documents that were previously uploaded for your PIC. In this case, you must chose Previously uploaded documents in the following screen after clicking and carry out the following steps:

  1. The list of financial documents previously uploaded display.
  2. Select the document you want to reuse by clicking the Select checkbox.

  3. Click confirm.
  4. The file appears listed. You can select several previously provided documents. You can remove the selected previously uploaded documents by using the icon next to the document

When finished, select the three declarations in the checklist and click on Submit.

If you need to combine new documents and previously uploaded documents you must use both Upload new document and Previously uploaded documents, until all documents you need to provide appear under the Documents section. Then you can submit.

After submitting the documents, the icon will disappear from the data group and the navigation menu and a light blue Data provided label will appear in the Financial Capacity section, next to the View button:

After submitting the documents, you will not be able to add further documentation any more unless you are specifically requested to do so by the Central Validation Service

When not all documents are available

Specific case: If your organisation has no approved financial statements (i.e, it concerns a recently created entity) you must select "This organisation does not have any closed financial statements yet". You will then obtain guidance on the documents to be provided and you must follow the steps described above for the upload of the financial information. In this case, the checklist will be disabled and you will be requested to provide a justification why the full set of document requested by the Central Validation Service cannot be provided.

Specific case: If your organisation has already closed annual accounts that were provided to the Central Validation Service, but the annual accounts for the most recent year are still not finalised (i.e. data for 2018 is already provided, but on 30/09/2020 your annual accounts for the financial year ending on 31/12/2019 are still not approved). In such case, you are requested to select the closing date (i.e. 31/12/2019 from the foregoing example) and provide justification why these accounts are still not available by using the  field.

Equally, in your justification, you are requested to provide an estimation by when these accounts are expected to be available.

Requests for additional information / documents


The Central Validation Service may require additional information/documents. In this case, you will receive a message and the View button will change into Edit.
You will also see a red label next to financial capacity section on the left, indicating that you need to take action.

Click Edit and repeat the steps to upload the required documents, and tick the three confirmations in the checklist.

If the required document is not available, click on and provide a justification.

Click on Submit. The request will change again into Data provided.
When the data has been validated by the Central Validation Service, you will see the changed state under the financial capacity section.
