Akuan Berkanun di Malaysia
Akta Akuan Berkanun tahun 1960 mengatur pernyataan berkanun di Malaysia. Undang-undang tersebut menetapkan bahawa semua dokumen yang memerlukan Deklarasi Berkanun disumpah atau dinyatakan sesuai dengan undang-undang tempatan.
Oleh AZIZAM AZIZAN
Di Malaysia, mana-mana orang yang dengan senang hati membuat pernyataan dalam Bahasa Melayu atau Bahasa Inggeris dalam bentuk yang sesuai boleh diambil dan diterima oleh Notaris atau Pesuruhjaya Sumpah. Orang yang membuat perisytiharan di bawah Akta ini dikehendaki membayar yuran kepada pegawai atau Pesuruhjaya yang mengambil perisytiharan tersebut. Kanun Keseksaan menjadikan sebarang pernyataan palsu dapat dihukum.
Secara umum, Penyata Kewangan di Malaysia mesti ditandatangani oleh satu (1) pengarah syarikat melalui Pernyataan Berkanun. Sekiranya Penyata Kewangan ditandatangani di luar Malaysia, Notaris Masyarakat negara itu akan melihat penandatanganan.
