Legal System

The framework of rules and regulations enforced by institutions to govern behavior.

The legal system in Cyprus comprises the structured set of laws and regulations, along with the institutions (like courts and regulatory bodies) that interpret and enforce them. In the context of accounting and finance, it includes laws related to business operations, taxation, corporate governance, contracts, and property rights. Understanding the legal system is essential for compliance, risk management, and informed decision-making in business and financial activities.
