I Forum of digital bookkeeping – SPED impacts on the Market
AccesStage, in partnership with Boldcron, participated on the first forum of digital bookkeeping.
Throughout the traditional scenario in Brazil, in which bureaucracy, stagnation and the diversity of information and processes are considered some of the barriers against the country development, today it is already possible to view an effective sign of changes coming up.
Sped is a public digital bookkeeping system that was instituted on January 22nd 2007 with the objective of providing a better business environment and eliminating disloyal competition, by increasing competitiveness among them. It was an initiative from the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (Receita Federal). Made by three great subprojects named Accounting Digital Bookkeeping, Fiscal Digital Bookkeeping and Electronic Invoicing, Sped will promote integrated actions among federal, estates’ and, in the future, cities’ tax authorities, from standardization and rationalization of information.
This way, Sped already counts on the adhesion of some estates. The forecast is that by the beginning of 2008, the 12 thousand big companies – responsible for 76% of fiscal collecting in the country – will mandatorily be using the Electronic Invoicing.
But how to apply all of those new systems when a big part of the companies still don’t have the necessary knowledge? The II Research of the Electronic Invoice Scenario in Brazil – Enterprise View, developed by the e-business Brazilian Association and finished in May 2007, showed that 48% of the companies interviewed consider their knowledge about e-invoices insufficient. For that reason, the great objective of the I Forum of digital bookkeeping – SPED impacts on the Market was to disseminate information, concepts and practices, based on experiments that are being applied, providing this way, a real understanding of this frequent ascent reality.
