Accountants, the final vote on professional reform is in the Senate today

The bill authorizing the Government for the reform of the profession of chartered accountant and accounting expert, approved by the Chamber on 23 September, is moving towards the final vote today, in the Senate chamber.

The provision is one of the four texts of reorganization of the regulations approved in two Councils of Ministers in September 2025: the others concern the 'restyling' of the Lawyers' Office (finally launched at the end of July, whose implementing decree was issued in October, ed.), the revision of the rules of 15 professions (agrotechnicians, architects, social workers, actuaries, labor consultants, agronomists and forestry doctors, geologists, surveyors, journalists, engineers, agricultural experts, industrial experts, customs brokers, industrial property consultants and food technologists) and health profiles.

The reform, which will impact the work of the over 120,000 accountants registered in the registers throughout Italy, puts on paper the activities that typically characterize the category in the "tax, economic-business, financial, labor law, corporate and business crisis" fields, without prejudice to the skills in these areas attributed to other regulated professions, or associations.

And it intervenes on specializations, establishing the subsequent adoption of an 'ad hoc' discipline, avoiding the multiplication of sub-rolls, or autonomous lists, as well as on training, since it gives those who aspire to be part of the category the opportunity to carry it out entirely during the course of university studies (three-year for accounting experts and master's for accountants), in order to reduce the time required for qualification, so as to encourage quicker entry into the world of employment. for the youth component.
