About the foundation

The Ad Legem Foundation (Foundation for the Protection of the Rights – Ad Legem) stands up for statutory auditors and other people in public trust professions.

Mission and principles

We were founded on the initiative of practitioners — statutory auditors, tax advisers and lawyers — who see every day how inspections and supervisory proceedings affect the work and lives of people in this profession.

Oversight should be predictable, proportionate and based on the same standards it requires of those it inspects. Ad legem means “according to the law” — and that is what we expect from all sides.

Statutory objectives

Statutory objectives, in brief:

  • protecting the professional and civil rights of people in public trust professions, in particular statutory auditors facing a professional, health or financial crisis,
  • supporting the independence and professional dignity of statutory auditors,
  • legal and psychological help for people in public trust professions,
  • research and support for economic development.
Is the foundation part of the professional self-government?

No. We are an independent foundation and we work with the self-government where we share goals.
