Summary: This article deals with two non peaceful issues among Secretaries, Comptrollers and Treasurers in the local goverment: which authority has the responsibility to pass the data and cancellations of the recognized obligations from the closed fiscal years, and, which is the date that must be considered for the beginning of prescription count. From the three existing municipal authorities that could dictate this agreement, the Mayor, the Municipal Cabinet Meeting and the plenary session, we could confirm that the positions are divided, almost to a half, between the Mayor and the plenary session; those who attribute the competency to the last one, support their case in supposed reports of the Court of Audits. As to the start date of the prescription count, and taking into account that the Local Goverment, in most cases, don’t usually notify the recognition of obligations, is a situation that demands the local entities to carry out advertisments in official bulletins as collective notifications, that come, somehow, to correct this scarcity. We explain our conclusions correctly argued, open to criticism and trying to maintain that the municipal competent authority for passing the data of the recognized obligations from closed fiscal years is the Mayor, and that there is a wide margin to improve the practice of the notifications of the recognized obligations that allows to obtain a true start of date to begin the calculation of the prescription, having faith in the establisment of the electronic management’s help in this way.
