Accounting Guide

Algerian accounting must be explainable

Accounting software in Algeria should not only store entries. It must help the company explain how a transaction moved from a supporting document to the journal, the general ledger, the trial balance, the financial statements and the tax file.

DZ Compta structures this workflow around the accounting journal, general ledger, trial balance, balance sheet, financial statements, tax package and Algerian SCF standards.

SCF before tax

The Algerian Financial Accounting System is not a tax form. It is the framework used to record, classify, value and present financial information. Law 07-11 requires regular accounting based on supporting documents, double-entry bookkeeping and financial statements that give a faithful view.

Tax declarations are prepared from accounting data, but they do not replace accounting. VAT, IBS and the tax package must be reconciled with the books, not rebuilt from disconnected spreadsheets.

What the accounting file must contain

A reliable file should make these elements easy to review:

  • Supporting document and accounting reference.
  • Debit and credit account.
  • Journal and entry date.
  • Customer, supplier or employee when relevant.
  • VAT, IBS or payroll impact.
  • Ledger movement and account balance.
  • Closing adjustments and explanations.
  • Link with financial statements and tax declarations.

Controls before closing

Before closing a period, review suspense accounts, old balances, VAT accounts, payroll entries, bank reconciliation, supplier and customer balances, inventory adjustments and tax corrections. A clean trial balance is the bridge between daily entries and management reporting.

Practical takeaway

The goal is not to produce accounting entries faster at any cost. The goal is to keep a file that a manager, accountant or tax adviser can read without reconstructing the month from emails and spreadsheets.
