The challenge
Document processing is a central component of every company and ensures that all types of documents are captured and processed correctly. This applies in particular to accounting as the mouthpiece for the company's success. There are numerous obstacles in this area in particular that can affect its efficiency and accuracy.
The biggest challenges in accounting are:
Manual processes:
- Time-consuming and inefficient
- Take up a lot of time and effort
- Slow down the entire process
Prone to errors:
- Inadvertent typos, incorrect categorisations and the like
- Impact of errors on subsequent processes, for example for reporting
- Additional workload and time for corrections
High regulatory requirements:
- Accurate and fast reporting
- High complexity
- Risk of penalties and legal consequences for non-compliance
Costly labour:
- High costs for salaries, training and further education
- Lack of qualified accountants makes it difficult to fill positions
- Loss of employee satisfaction due to manual and repetitive tasks
