Professional Register / Statutory Auditor Register
The professional register of German public auditors and audit firms, kept by the Wirtschaftsprüferkammer under section 37 of the Public Accountant Act. The same register also discharges the statutory auditor register required by the EU Audit Directive, so one system serves both purposes.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Partly open The register is described by the chamber as publicly accessible with current data. The search application was served anonymously with no credential, so login is recorded as not required. It renders its interface with JavaScript and no query was executed, so result content and any limits were not observed and stay null.

Assessment
Strengths
Its statutory basis is stated on the chamber’s own page: section 37(1) sentence 1 of the Wirtschaftsprüferordnung.
One register discharges two legal functions, so there is no second national auditor list to reconcile it against.
It covers firms as well as individuals, including EU and EEA audit firms and third-country auditors and firms.
Limitations
Registration is required to carry out statutory audits, so it is a licence to practise a reserved activity rather than a protected title — but it is not a statement about the quality of any audit.
It mixes populations with different entitlements — public auditors, sworn accountants, audit firms, foreign firms and cooperative audit associations — so a hit alone does not tell a reader what the entry permits.
The register is kept by the chamber; entries follow the chamber’s own admission and recognition decisions, which is not the same as supervision of an individual audit.
The search application renders with JavaScript, so it could not be exercised and nothing about result content or coverage is asserted.

Best for

Confirming the status of an EU, EEA or third-country audit firm registered in Germany.
Not recommended for
Judging audit quality. Registration records entitlement, not how any engagement was performed.
Assuming a person absent from it cannot do any accountancy work. Only statutory audit is reserved to the professions recorded here.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
