The use of software relevant for taxation is subject to strict requirements in Germany: The tax authorities demand compliance with legal requirements and tax regulations, regardless of whether the software is developed inhouse or is a standard solution. 

Not only core systems such as financial accounting systems come into focus, but increasingly also sub-systems and ancillary systems such as document management systems (DMS), cash register systems, billing programs, travel expense software, e-invoicing solutions, and many other IT applications.  

The risk of using software that is not compliant with the legal requirements or tax regulations lies in the potential creation of incorrect tax results. For software vendors, this may lead to liability risks, and for companies, in the worst case, to criminal consequences for those responsible for tax matters. 

KMLZ offers independent certification of your software in accordance with the recognized auditing standard of the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW), IDW PS 880.  

The objective of the audit is to assess, with reasonable assurance, whether the functions of the software components relevant for accounting are suitable and ensure compliance with the legal requirements when applied correctly. In addition, compliance with the applicable tax law requirements must be checked. 

Our unique value: We combine deep expertise in IT audits and software certifications with extensive tax knowledge. This ensures that your software not only meets all technical and organizational requirements, but also fully complies with all tax regulations and legal requirements.
