An accountant who has done many wrong things may go to jail. For example: participating in corporate tax evasion; Participate in enterprise report fraud; Destroying and concealing accounting data; Corruption; Misappropriation of public funds; Bribery by participating units; Units involved in activities that undermine financial order; Participate in the financial fraud activities of the unit; Help others launder money and so on.
These may constitute crimes and imprisonment. It shouldn't be said that this profession is prone to accidents, but the key is yourself. But in some cases, you need to choose between keeping your job and committing crimes.
The Accounting Law clearly stipulates that the person in charge of the unit is the responsible subject of the accounting behavior of the unit. Article 50 The person-in-charge of an interpretation unit shall be the legal representative of the unit or the principal person-in-charge who exercises functions and powers on behalf of the unit according to laws and administrative regulations. This provision fully embodies the concern for accounting personnel and grasps the key to the problem.
Emphasizing that the person in charge of the unit is the subject of accounting responsibility cannot be understood as accounting personnel are not responsible for accounting.
Judging from the typical cases of making false accounts and providing false financial and accounting reports, as long as making false accounts causes great economic losses, accountants still have to bear responsibility, even criminal responsibility. You cannot get rid of your ignorance or ignorance for various reasons.
If the amount of tax evasion due to false accounting reaches a certain amount, it will violate the criminal law. We can start with criminal law. There are principal offenders, accessory offenders and coerced accomplices in criminal law, so your position is that you belong to coerced accomplices and can be mitigated or exempted from punishment. So don't be afraid. Under normal circumstances, accountants will not go to jail. This is not a high-risk occupation.
