Paula Franco, a bank of the Order of Certified Accountants, warns of the degradation of public services – and the double authentication does not help.
The Finance Portal has a reinforced authentication system. Since last week, one with a verification code has been sent.
This double verification factor is questioned by the order of certified accountants. Bastastary Paula Franco says that the order knew of this change. But he didn’t agree, “We contested a lot.”
No, Paula explains that this change only applies – for now – to private taxpayers who do not have organized accounting.
“It was already going into force long before this date and we we contested it because It would be chaos. Because there are many relationships of softwares with the Tax Authority website. Accountants make many inputs, But then they will also seek a lot of return information, which today ensures that accounting is all much more strict, but that this factor of the double authentication prevents it, ”he warned.
The Bastarian highlights that the accounts be dependent of an authentication factor received by the businessman on the mobile phone “for every action that software do, daily, by minute, to the second.”
Paula Franco is aware that cybersecurity is important, but “the options could have been different. For example, if one of the big problems you have is the issue of bank accounts, because is not only a double authentication in the change or consultation of a bank account?” He asks.
Deactivated treasury
This new access system has another range, according to the Bastarian: “Our public services are not improvingas we know. Us Let’s go to a finance service that nowadays, most of the days, does not meet the taxpayers. It serves by marking, serves one morning, does not serve others. To pay, the Treasurers are practically disabled“.
“And it is often the finance services themselves that say ‘talk to the accountant, ask the accountant’. There is an absence and a withdrawal of many of the existing public services.”
Pauloa Franco realizes that there is a lack of resources but warns: “When creating this double authentication, many obstacles will be created in the help that accountants give to civil society in general terms. Let’s work more poorly, let’s work with more obstacles and, perhaps, in some circumstances We fail to help taxpayers“.
The basis of the order of certified accountants also said that the Finance Portal has problems “almost daily. The tax authority never wants to admit it, always thinks that they are exaggerations on the part of accountants, but the truth is that we are constantly prevented from working in a planned way. ”
