Sa mundo ng Philippine business at accounting, ang maayos na books of accounts ay hindi lang basta best practice — legal requirement ito at cornerstone ng sound financial management.
Kung ikaw man ay small entrepreneur o malaking korporasyon, mahalaga ang tamang bookkeeping para sa compliance, decision-making, at growth ng negosyo.
Accurate Financial Reporting
Ang books of accounts ay parang diary ng lahat ng business transactions mo. Dahil dito, nagiging reliable ang mga financial statements tulad ng Balance Sheet, Income Statement, at Cash Flow Statement.
Accurate reports = mas madaling makita ang financial health ng business, mas attractive ka sa investors, at mas madali makakuha ng loans.
Legal Requirement under Philippine Law
Ayon sa Philippine Tax Code at iba pang regulatory bodies, obligasyon ng lahat ng businesses na mag-maintain ng books of accounts.
📌 Dapat ito ay updated at accurate.
📌 Failure to comply = penalties, fines, o kahit business closure.
Kaya required ng BIR ang books of accounts bilang basehan para sa audit at tax assessment.
Effective Tax Compliance
Kapag maayos ang bookkeeping, mas madali ang tamang pag-report ng income at expenses.
Ibig sabihin:

Sa madaling salita, books of accounts = backbone ng tax compliance.
