Définition et périmètre
Accounting software used for a French entity supports bookkeeping, evidence, closing and reporting under the entity’s applicable framework. Product capability must be assessed separately from the legal and professional work performed by the company or its accountant, particularly for VAT, filings, electronic invoicing and year-end accounts.
