  • Membership list (possible submittal to the clerk office of the relevant court).
  • Fulfilment of accounting and fiscal obligations according all the legal stipulations:
    • Establishing a set of accounts based on the specific activities of the ASBL as well as its size.
    • Supporting the board of administrators in setting up and applying appropriate accounting rules.
