The meaning of the act of acceptance and transfer of services

The main purpose of the act of provision of services is to confirm the full fulfillment of obligations under the contract and the absence of disagreements between the contractor and the customer.
The document is signed by both parties and serves as confirmation that the customer has no claims regarding the quality of the services provided. The act is no less important for accounting purposes, since it is the basis for recording relevant transactions and making final settlements between the parties. The certificate of provision of services can be used not only in business relations, since in the event of claims regarding the quality of the provision of services, all their shortcomings are recorded in the certificate. Subsequently, if the dispute comes to trial, such an act can serve as evidence in court. In this case, the act signed without comments will be evidence of fulfillment of obligations in full (for example, in disputes over late payment).

The content and procedure for concluding a service agreement are regulated by regulations and judicial practice (our other article will help you become familiar with the rules for drafting). With the act to the contract, the situation is somewhat more complicated, since its preparation is not directly provided for by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. However, if there is no act, the courts may recognize the fact of provision of services as unproven. An example of such a decision is the resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow District dated March 2, 2010 No. KG-A41/14892-09 in case No. A41-9361/09.

Why do we need a unilateral act of services rendered?

A unilateral act of services rendered is practically no different from a standard, bilateral act. There is simply no signature of the receiving party on it. The document is drawn up when the customer refuses to accept services and pay for them. The act has legal force; the court can invalidate it only if the customer has justified reasons not to accept the services.

What should I do if the price of services changes during the work?

It is necessary to draw up an adjustment report for the services provided. It is drawn up when various changes occur in the contract. After signing the act, it is the information from it that will be considered relevant.

The document does not have a unified form. Download our adjustment act for the provision of services: form and sample for 2022. They have all the necessary details.

Rules for drawing up an act for a service agreement

The practice of contractual relations has developed certain requirements for the content of this document, the fulfillment of which allows it to serve as confirmation of the fulfillment of obligations. The act as a primary accounting document must contain the details established by Art. 9 of the Law “On Accounting” dated December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ:

• details of the service agreement (number, date of preparation);
• place and date of drawing up the act;
• information about the parties (name, representatives, grounds of representation);
• an indication that the services were provided by the contractor and received by the customer;
• list of services (including basic and auxiliary services);
• the volume of services provided (can be calculated in hours, days, number of documents drawn up, and so on);
• the cost of each service excluding VAT;
• VAT amount for each service;
• the cost of each service including VAT;
• the total cost of all services including and excluding VAT;
• signatures of the parties and seals (if a legal entity or individual entrepreneur works with a seal).

A sample act for a service contract, during the development of which all the necessary requirements were taken into account, will help you understand what a well-drafted document looks like.

If any information was missing in the initial act signed by the contractor and the customer, the parties can draw up a new document. If an act drawn up with errors has already been taken into account, an additional one can be concluded containing the missing information.

Certificate of provision of services and certificate of work performed

Often, after fulfilling their obligations, counterparties sign a certificate of completion of work under a service agreement. At the same time, civil legislation provides for two independent types of obligations: performance of work (contract) and provision of services, which are regulated by various chapters (37 and 39, respectively). However, from the point of view of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, such a situation is acceptable, since clause 2 of Art. 779 of this code establishes that some services can be provided under other contracts, including contracts, for which the rules of Chapter. 39 Civil Code does not apply.

Also, the provision of services and the performance of work are identified by a number of regulations:

• Law of the Russian Federation “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” dated 02/07/1992 No. 2300-1;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval of the Rules for consumer services to the population in the Russian Federation” dated August 15, 1997 No. 1025;
• legal acts of various departments.

However, identification is carried out, as a rule, in order to simplify the legal regulation of both institutions by provisions related to them, therefore, drawing up an act on the provision of services within the framework of the type of contract under consideration is more correct. In case of disputes, this will allow the court to establish that the act relates specifically to the disputed contract for the provision of services, and not to other obligations. A clear example of the rejection of an act as evidence on a similar basis can be found in the resolution of the FAS of the East Siberian District dated April 25, 2011 in case No. A58-4388/10.

Certificate of acceptance and transfer of completed work or services

Drawing up a transfer and acceptance certificate under a service agreement is a special case of the substitution of concepts between the provision of services and the performance of work. The acceptance certificate includes a number of additional information that reflect the specifics of the contract. The main differences of the document are:

1. Information on the preparation of additional documentation necessary to perform the work (design, estimate documents).
2. A detailed description of the result of the work, which is the qualitative difference between a contract and the provision of services.
3. Indication of non-compliance with specific terms of the contract (for example, technical specifications or project plan).

Thus, in fact, the act of acceptance accompanies the transfer of a specific result of work. This is precisely where its fundamental difference lies from the act of provision of services, which does not imply the transfer of any material results and is drawn up after the provision of the services provided for in the contract.
