Where do these figures come from?

Statutory floors, and an article number that moved

Article 60 sets both minimum and maximum: €1,320 on a legal entity and €660 on the responsible individual. Many published comparisons record only the €13,270 maximum — and cite Art. 42, the old Act's penalty article, which in NN 85/2024 covers CbCR report content and carries no fines.

In short

Croatia transposed CSRD through the new Zakon o računovodstvu published as NN 85/2024, in force from 27 July 2024. Article 60 (items 32–34) sets a misdemeanour fine on the legal entity from €1,320 up to €13,270, and from €660 up to €2,650 on a responsible individual. The Financial Inspectorate and Fina enforce. Later amendments — NN 145/24, NN 151/25 and NN 59/26 — leave the amounts unchanged.

Accounting Act misdemeanour

Sustainability reporting is governed through the Accounting Act, placing it in the same enforcement channel as financial reporting — the same inspectorate, procedure and evidentiary expectations.

The citation stack is NN 85/24 as amended by NN 145/24, NN 151/25 and NN 59/26. NN 151/25 transposes the stop-the-clock deferral and leaves the penalties untouched.
