Electronic accounting archives policy compliance difficult? Kailing Technology's one-stop solution, secure and worry-free!

Against the backdrop of the full implementation of China Golden Tax Phase IV and the widespread adoption of fully digitalized e-invoices, enterprise accounting archives management is facing unprecedented compliance challenges. The Ministry of Finance, the National Archives Administration, and other departments have successively issued policies such as the Administrative Measures for Accounting Archives and the Notice on Regulating the Reimbursement, Booking, and Archiving of Electronic Accounting Vouchers, imposing strict requirements on electronic invoice archiving, voucher retention periods, and data security. Many enterprises are trapped in difficulties because they struggle to adapt to policy details, integrate multi-system data, and ensure the compliance of electronic archives.

I. Core Policy Compliance Difficulties: Multiple Challenges from Electronic Invoices to Full-Process Management

Current policies have formed full-chain standards for enterprise accounting archive management, with main difficulties concentrated in three aspects:

▪ The Stringency of Electronic Voucher Management  

According to the Notice on Standardizing the Reimbursement, Accounting Entry, and Archiving of Electronic Accounting Vouchers, external electronic vouchers such as electronic invoices, fiscal electronic bills, and bank electronic receipts must meet conditions such as "lawful and authentic source, secure transmission and storage, tamper resistance, and traceability," and if paper printouts are used for archiving, the electronic originals must be preserved simultaneously. This requires enterprises to establish a full-lifecycle management mechanism for electronic vouchers to avoid compliance risks caused by "emphasizing paper and neglecting electronic."

▪ Complexity of retention periods and special circumstances  

The new rules clarify that the retention period for major accounting materials such as original vouchers and bookkeeping vouchers is extended to 30 years, while auxiliary materials such as bank statements and tax filing forms are retained for 10 years; for vouchers involving unsettled claims and debts or unfinished matters, even if overdue, they must be kept separately until the matter is concluded. Enterprises need to accurately classify archive types, set retention periods, and establish a dynamic tracking mechanism.

▪ Challenges of cross-system data integration and "four-property" validation  

Policy requires electronic archives to pass the "four-property test" of authenticity, integrity, usability, and security. However, enterprise financial data is often scattered across tax systems, ERP, OA, treasury platforms, and other systems, with inconsistent data formats and complex relationships, making efficient verification and compliant archiving difficult through traditional manual management.

II. Kailing Technology one-stop solution: technology empowering full-process compliance

In response to policy pain points, the Kailing Technology electronic accounting archives management system takes "compliance as the foundation, technology as the wings" and builds a solution covering the full process of collection, archiving, management, and utilization, with core capabilities reflected in four major dimensions:

▪ All-source data integration, breaking down information silos  

The system can connect with enterprise tax systems, financialSystem、fund systems, business platforms, imaging systems and others seamlessly, automatically collecting full data such as input/output VAT invoices, accounting vouchers, bank receipts and business documents. Through standardized interfaces and format conversion technology, real-time cross-system data synchronization is achieved, ensuring the completeness of archived information and meeting policy requirements for "linking electronic archives with business sources."

▪ Backed by intelligent technology, building a solid compliance defense  

- OCR recognition and structured processing: OCRSystemSupports automatic recognition of various documents with accuracy above 99.9%, quickly extracting key information and storing it in structured form, solving the challenge of digitizing paper documents.  

- Automated four-property testing: the system has a built-in compliance verification engine that performs multi-dimensional testing on electronic archive metadata formats, signature validity, tampering traces, storage security, and more, generates compliance reports, and meets the core requirements of the Measures for the Management of Accounting Archives for electronic archives.  

- Electronic signature and encrypted storage: Uses electronic seals certified by the Ministry of Public Security and blockchain notarization technology to ensure that electronic archives cannot be tampered with during transmission and storage, while also supporting data backup and disaster recovery solutions to prevent the risk of accidental loss.

▪ Full lifecycle management, adapting to retention periods and special requirements  

The system supports custom archive retention periods based on policy requirements, automatically marking expired archives and triggering the appraisal process; for special archives such as unsettled creditor's rights and debts, a separate management module is established to extend the retention period until the matter is concluded. Through "Star Chain Graph" function, visually displaying archive associations (such as multiple invoices and payment vouchers corresponding to one contract), facilitating audit traceability and compliance checks.

▪ Convenient retrieval and utilization, balancing security and efficiency  

Based on full-text search and multi-condition combined query technology, the system can achieve millisecond-level response in billion-level data and support precise archive location by voucher number, date, business type, and more. At the same time, through refined permission management (role authorization, operation log traceability) and borrowing approval processes, it ensures archive utilization complies with the "secure and controllable" principle and meets both internal and external audit needs.

III. Proven in practice: multi-industry cases witness compliance value

Kailing Technology's solution has been implemented in multiple industries such as technology, manufacturing, and healthcare, helping enterprises achieve compliance upgrades:

▪ A certain large technology enterprise:By integrating data from tax, finance, and business systems, it achieves automatic collection of fully digitalized e-invoices, OCR recognition, and four-property testing, increasing electronic archive filing efficiency by 80%, successfully passing the pilot acceptance of the National Archives Administration, and completely eliminating paper voucher printing and manual binding.

▪ A chip manufacturing enterprise:In response to the characteristic of having many overseas businesses, the system supports multilingual invoice recognition and cross-border electronic voucher management. Through integration with SAP and OA systems, it enables automatic association and archiving of purchase orders, invoices, and payment receipts, meeting the joint inspection requirements of customs and tax authorities.

▪ A certain medical device enterprise:Solved the problems of duplicate reimbursement and scattered storage of electronic invoices; through electronic signatures and anti-tampering technology, it ensures the compliance of vouchers for medical equipment procurement and maintenance; the retention period management module precisely adapts to the 30-year long-term retention requirement, saving over 500,000 yuan in archive storage costs annually.
