Much more innovative is the chapter V ("the accounting and the application of the result"), since it introduces for the first time in the Andorran legal system the guiding principles in the formulation of the annual accounts of the companies, the requirement, in the cases established, be audited them and placed them as an essential instrument of transparency and financial information.

Chapter VI ("structural changes") regulates the requirements and the effects of modifications that, by reason of their importance, have received corporate this designation in the doctrinal tradition continental, and they are the transformation, the merger and the split of the company. Chapter VII ("the separation and exclusion of members") set by the regime of these two mechanisms of solution of conflicts intrasocietaris that allow you to avoid the dissolution of the company, which is based on contractualistes principles, in accordance with the Andorran corporate reality, establishes as a cause of separation reasons fair and determines the procedure of assessment of the shares or participations.
