But it is quite possible that this person does not exist or he does not know that a director organization of the provider. As I said earlier, ephemeral, usually short-lived, and people who use them, it is necessary to periodically create new and new companies. Therefore, any ephemera, is likely to be newly registered organization. People such as Viktor Mayer-Schönberger would likely agree. Of course, and any ‘white’ company when something has just been registered. Therefore you should not refuse to work with the supplier on the sole ground that it was created less than a year ago. Another thing, if you are already a long time working with the same people, but the entities they represent are changing all the time. Say, once every six months or once a year these people ask you to sign a contract with another company, begin to exhibit on behalf of the account.

If no intelligible explanation of such action on their part does not arrive, the conclusion is obvious – the supplier changes the ephemeral. What else? Accounts with such companies are only open in ‘suspicious’ bank. That is in the bank, which in some circles is known by the fact that deals with some kind of illegal transactions, such as cashing or illegal withdrawal of money abroad. Know that the bank ‘suspicious’ can only be from people who have been exposed to it, or at least heard about it. Recently Bettina Bryant sought to clarify these questions. But, in principle, if only by the supplier is only open to little-known bank, takes a position in the second thousand in the ratings of Russian banks – this is cause for suspicion. Probably, this company – just a ‘cesspool’ of the bank. Further, if you make some mistake in the documents, such as issuing the document not the form or make a mistake in the figures, the normal contractor necessarily notice it and ask you to correct the documents. Ephemeral, as a rule, are not interested in the quality of the documents to her, and their defects, it just does not pay attention.

Since paying taxes and to provide accurate reporting, it is not going to, it is not necessary and maintain records of any tax or accounting. So, primary documents it does not need. This is – another opportunity to test whether a supplier of ephemeral or ‘white’ company. Enough to send her an act of reconciliation of payments, allowing it a small mistake, just a few rubles. If the provider has a full authentic records, he noticed the error and inform you of the discrepancy data act with the data of its accounting. One-day, which does not lead credible account, verify your data is not with anything and no reason, and she will sign any more or less authentic act of reconciliation. You can also ‘to detect an error’, try to retroactively change primary documents of the past quarter. Normal contractor in such a situation would be angry, because he will have to amend the record, and possibly re-take the statements.
