The SAF-T file is used by tax authorities as a source for the automated analysis of an enterprise’s accounting and tax data.
The verification is performed not selectively, but across the entire array of information, including transactions, reference data, and balances. Under such conditions, not only the fact of generating the SAF-T file is important, but also the quality, completeness, and consistency of the data contained within it.
After the SAF-T file is generated, there is a need to verify not only its compliance with the established format but also the content of the data.
Even with a correct XML structure, the file may contain:
SAF-T verification involves working with a large volume of information, making it difficult to detect such deviations without the use of specialized analysis tools.
Caseware SAF-T UA Analysis is a software solution for analyzing SAF-T files that allows for the processing and verification of data after it has been generated.
The system supports the import of a ready SAF-T file regardless of its creation source and ensures further work with the data in a structured format suitable for analysis.
After uploading, the SAF-T file is automatically processed and broken down into separate logical structures, in particular transactions, reference data, balances, and primary documents.
As a result, the technical XML file is transformed into structured data that can be worked with in a familiar analytical format, without the need for manual parsing or additional transformations.
This simplifies further analysis and allows for quick data verification and investigation regardless of its volume.
SAF-T UA Analysis is designed for in-depth verification of the already generated SAF-T file after its preparation.
The solution allows you to analyze the completeness, integrity, and logical consistency of data across the entire array of information, as well as apply standardized analytical and audit tests to identify discrepancies, atypical transactions, and other deviations in the data. The list of checks may include tests for the consistency of figures, correctness of calculations, duplicate records, and specific accounting and tax reconciliations.
The analysis is performed in the Caseware IDEA environment, which ensures work with large volumes of data and the possibility of using both standard and customized verification scenarios.
