In saving documents, there are no standards or principles at all. But saving it correctly and making it easy to find is something that gives accountants a headache every day. CPA has collected the following tips, hoping to help accountants work more smoothly.

Principles of how to save documents that most accountants should follow:
At any time a transaction occurs, save all documents arising from that transaction in one place (ie there is 1 recording document and all original documents attached). That is, we open the file to save the document according to the name of the recording document (For example, file named Payment Voucher, File named Receipt Voucher, File named Receivable Accounting Voucher, File named Payable Accounting Voucher, File named Warehouse Receipt Voucher). , Warehouse Delivery Note File, Other accounting files... Each month is 1 file, every 12 months is 12 files).
Saving accounting documents is an extremely important step, because if you do not do this step well, later on, finding and comparing data between books and documents will be very difficult, and you will also have to find documents to restore them. Serving the tax authorities and serving the audit team. So the problem of saving documents is that each unit has a different way of saving, no unit saves the same. Below is a way to save documents for your reference and application when going to work.
