COMMON QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Practical answers about connected accounting apps, digital record keeping, approvals and workflow automation for Australian businesses.

Cloud accounting automation connects selected apps and workflows with your accounting system so information can move with less re-keying. The benefit depends on your transaction volume, software, process design and the amount of review still required; it does not remove the need for accounting checks and approvals.
Depending on your requirements and the available connectors, workflows may involve tools such as Dext, Hubdoc, Shopify, Square, Stripe, WooCommerce, PayPal, ApprovalMax, Deputy, Employment Hero, simPRO or ServiceM8. Compatibility and subscription requirements are checked before setup.
The ATO recognises electronic records, including digital copies or photos, provided they are true and clear copies and remain accessible. Most business records generally need to be kept for 5 years, although some records need to be retained for longer. Your record-keeping process should reflect the rules that apply to the specific record.
Where supported, approval tools can route bills to nominated users before payment preparation. ABA files can then be prepared for approved supplier payments, with final authorisation remaining with your nominated banking approver.
Security depends on the providers, integrations and settings used. We recommend using reputable supported apps, multi-factor authentication where available, appropriate user permissions and a documented process for reviewing access. Each provider's current security and privacy terms should also be considered.
