personal, trustworthy, professional.

We are pleased to announce that certified public accountant Nicolas Welter will strengthen and enrich our team as of October 1, 2022. After several years of experience with international companies and one of the Big4 auditing firms, the former TRO apprentice returns to Olten. We are happy to be able to win a proven expert and affable person for our team.

We dare to move to Baden in the canton of Aargau and, together with the current managing director Angelika Waser Schoch, take over the majority of the innovative, competent and successful trust company from its founder Jeannette Merki.

The qualified and friendly employees of Merki Treuhand AG provide first-class services for their clients. Jeannette Merki and Angelika Waser Schoch, like us at "Solidis", place complete customer satisfaction at the center of their actions. We are convinced that we can mutually benefit a lot from each other in order to be
- One Step Ahead - also in the future.

Fiscal year 2022 has been characterized by major changes so far. War in Ukraine, energy prices going through the roof, supply bottlenecks in all sectors, staff shortages in many industries, inflation, recession, the Swiss franc and interest rates on the rise ... risks everywhere we look.

The new Data Protection Act (DPA) is expected to come into force on September 1, 2023, together with the Data Protection Ordinance (DPO), which has yet to be issued by the Federal Council.

Does the DPA also affect SMEs?

Yes, all companies, regardless of their size, are affected by the DPA. It does not matter whether the data of customers, partners, suppliers and employees is stored in analog or digital form. Due to the digitalization of processes, the amount of data to be processed in companies will continue to increase sharply. Accordingly, all companies should implement the new DPA, which will come into force without a transition period on September 1, 2023. This is particularly important for companies that operate in cross-border areas and / or employ people from an EU state but have not yet adopted the GDPR.

The new DPA takes into account consumer behavior (online shopping, payment services, etc.), communication technologies, social networks, technological developments (digitalization, artificial intelligence, etc.) and international standards.

To the report - only in German

The Federal Council has decided to bring the revised inheritance law into force on January 1, 2023. For all deaths from this date onwards, the new provisions will therefore apply, irrespective of whether a will was drawn up or an inheritance contract concluded before the revision came into force.

The most important changes can be found in our technical report in the HEV magazine Solothurn issue September 2022 on pages 16 and 17.
