In Switzerland, a fiduciary agent[1] is a natural or legal person mandated to act on behalf of a principal, depending on the scope of the mandate.
Fiduciary responsibilities
[edit]Fiduciary mandates may include: domiciliation of companies or individuals, auditing of accounts, preparation of salary slips, accounting, certain administrative tasks, opening, management or closing of bank accounts, reviews or audits, tax returns, human resources management or any other mandate that a person wishes to entrust to a third party.[2]
Most fiduciary offices confine themselves to the day-to-day management and administration of their clients.[2]
Certain mandates, such as that of chartered accountant or auditor, are only recognized if the mandated person is a graduate of a state-recognized school.[3] In most countries, there are trustees or similar bodies.
Certain fiduciaries can be appointed to verify compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Act (French: Loi sur le Blanchiment d'Argent - LBA).[4]
