peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1community purpose Explanation: Hello, given your context, this does not seem as straight forward as it appears. All my resources also said social mission, but they are missing the mark. I was thinking of the function versus the end result and am guessing 'community purpose.' Then, I looked at how société also refers to the corporate aspect, and now have changed it to 'corporate mission statement.' |

| lettre de mission sociale (formal) letter accepting to act as accountant for company XYZ Explanation: Is it not just a former letter confirming that firm ABC accepts to act as accountant for the company XYZ? Read "sociale" as "corporate" or something pertaining to the company. https://www.l-expert-comptable.com/a/37111-la-lettre-de-miss... 3.625 Notes : 4 (8 votes) Définition de la lettre de mission d'expert-comptable La lettre de mission de l'expert-comptable est un contrat écrit liant un cabinet d'expertise comptable et son client, société ou entreprise. Cet écrit est obligatoire comme prévu par le Code de déontologie des experts comptables du 28 Septembre 2008. Une lettre de mission est donc un contrat type et doit contenir les mentions suivantes : Les parties au contrat (Le cabinet/son client) La prestation réalisée par l'expert-comptable (nature, étendue et limites) Les conditions générales d'intervention Le montant des honoraires La lettre de mission de l'expert-comptable n'est soumise qu'à une obligation de contenu, pas de forme. Ainsi, la lettre de mission traditionnelle reste volumineuse et contraignante. Les modèles de lettres de mission diffusés par le Conseil Supérieur de l'Ordre des Experts-comptables tendent à uniformiser la forme au profit du contenu. En savoir plus sur les obligations de l'expert-comptable. La lettre de mission de l'expert comptable et les mentions obligatoires La lettre de mission doit contenir de manière explicite les modalités des prestations réalisées par l'expert-comptable. Ainsi, la mission principale relevant de la tenue de comptabilité fixe l'étendue des travaux comptables à réaliser. Si un client souhaite de son expert-comptable des services complémentaires, il devra obtenir une lettre de mission complémentaire. Voici quelques prestations d'expert-comptable nécessitant une lettre de mission propre : Choix de la forme juridique de son entreprise Réalisation d'un Business Plan complet Création administrative et juridique d'une entreprise Réalisation de déclarations fiscales Conseil en optimisation fiscale Réalisation de fiches de paie Lettre de mission d'expert comptable pour comité d'entreprise (CE) La fonction principale d'un expert-comptable consiste en la supervision complète de la comptabilité de l'entreprise (établissement des livrables légaux tels les bilan, compte de résultat, comptes annuels...). Toutefois, l'expert comptable peut etre sollicité par le comité d'entreprise afin d'apporter des informations claires et précises aux élus du CE. L'objectif est d'offrir au comité d'entreprise une base d'informations solide sur la société, afin que les salariés puissent mieux exercer leurs droits vis à vis de la direction. En général, les membres du CE ne sont pas formés pour pouvoir englober toutes les informations liées au fonctionnement de l'entreprise. Le comité d'entreprise a donc le droit de faire appel à l'expert-comptable, dans le but d'obtenir des éclairsissements sur la société et mieux réagir face aux dirigeants. L'expert comptable au sein du CE est souvent amené à répondre à des questions comme celles-ci: l'entreprise va t elle bien ? peut on faire confiance au(x) dirigeant(s) ? des plans de restructurations sont ils prévus ? la rémunération du dirigeant est elle excessive ? Au sein du CE, l'expert comptable à deux types de missions: les missions contractuelles: gestion comptable interne du comité et assistance au élus du CE pour leurs prérogatives économiques les missions légales: assistance vis en vue de l'établissement annuel des comptes, de l'examen des comptes prévisionnels, des opérations de concentrations...etc En définitive, l'expert-comptable améliore la qualité du dialogue social. http://www.infodoc-experts.com/Espace-Social/Actualites/De-n... http://infosocial.experts-comptables.com/Infosocial/Billet-d... http://www.experts-comptables.fr/sites/default/files/asset/d... See page 16. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2017-04-11 09:53:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It looked like some new obligation arose in 2015. Sample letters have been derafted and are avaible online, but only accessible if you are a registered qualified "expert-comptable". You can find references to this type of letter, described as "lettre de mission en matière sociale". I then doubted, and thought it might be for charitable organisations, non profit-making associations (loi 1901) and so on. However, I think it does still look as though it is "sociale" as in with reference to a company. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-04-11 11:17:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Bruce : that is precisely what is referred to in the three other sources I provide. The referecne to the DSN in 2015 is pertinent. http://www.infodoc-experts.com/Espace-Social/Actualites/De-n... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-04-11 11:19:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @However, if you wish to specify, which is probably helpful here, then you need to find a form of words pointing to the nature of the mission. Maybe a reference to the DSN and a footnote? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2017-04-11 22:22:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For those who don't know, the DSN is the "décalration sociale nominative". http://www.dsn-info.fr/ Here's some blurb about the French (similalr to "chartered") accountants' role with regard to DSN : http://sic.experts-comptables.fr/sic-n°-353/focus/dsn-mise-à... and the "lettre de mission (d'assistance en matière) sociale", a more complete version of "mission sociale" in this context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2017-04-11 22:26:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also note that the "lettre de mission (sociale)" is written by the expert-comptable. It would be odd to use "letter of appointment" as an expert-comptable cannot appoint himself; he can hoever accept an offer of appointment to act. "Letter confirming acceptance of appointment to act for XYZ with regard to ...(whatever")" |

The "lettre de mission sociale" is the letter appointing them to carry out those functions. Note that I did put "accountants" in brackets. You could simply omit it and rephrase as: "(letter of/scope of) appointment to act for the company". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day55 mins (2017-04-12 09:57:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Asker To my ears, "letter of engagement" is stylistically preferable to "engagement letter". http://www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/glossary.aspx "Engagement letters "Used by accountants, investment banks and other advisers to set out the terms under which they are giving advice, they are now used by a wide range of advisers and suppliers. The precise form of the document will vary greatly depending on which type of adviser you are appointing. There are statutory requirements prescribing how scheme actuaries and scheme auditors must be appointed, and also the professional bodies that regulate your advisers will have their own requirements. "Usually drawn up by the adviser in question, the document should reflect everything you have agreed with your adviser including their liability limit, agreed fees and charges, their conflict of interest policy and arrangements for terminating their appointment. Also known as: terms of appointment, letter of engagement, letter of appointment, signed agreement, contract." |
