Your financial audit has started for the fiscal year. The CA is asking for a list of documents. Your staff is running around the office to look out for them. Some are in the files, and some are in the heap of papers on your table, some others are tucked in your drawers below stationery items. The document search is on - one after other as the CA tries to read into your Profit and Loss Account. Does this sound familiar?? The Good news is you have company. Many SME’s are in a similar situation most of the time.
In today’s business scenario, Document Management regarding accounting plays a significant role. As per the Income-Tax Act, business owners are required to maintain documents for six years while specific provisions require maintaining documents for 10 to 16 years. Before the implementation of document management in electronic form, businesses would prepare documents in paper form which were subjected to higher risk.

- On-site storage such as filing cabinets and boxes took a lot of room in an office, adding to the clutter.
- Photocopying, faxing, printing, filing added up to the time taken which concluded that the storage of data in paper form was time-consuming and this added to the list of its disadvantages:
