The Croatian Financial Services Agency issued this Technical Guideline to standardize the electronic signing of reporting files submitted by supervised entities through its official website. It defines key terms, designates authorized signatories (including natural persons and appointed representatives), and mandates the use of smart cards containing both authentication and qualified digital certificates. The Guideline further requires signatories to utilize separate storage for original documents, submit paper-based powers of attorney when delegating signing authority, and promptly report any changes to authorized representatives.
