solution for audit compliant storage of documents for dematerialized document

Hello,

A customer of mine is asking if the storage of Documents is compliant 
with the various audit requirements (inalterability, etc). I don't think 
the standard (even in EE) can take care of this. But maybe I'm wrong.

I see requirements such as

"""
technical procedures, such as electronic signatures, must be used to 
ensure the integrity of the recorded information. The time at which the 
information was recorded must be verifiable without any possibility of 
falsification (e.g. by time stamping). Information such as protocols, 
log files, etc. must also be retained.
"""

Has anyone implemented something similar and would be willing to share 
experience?

    Hi Alexandre,

    I have a similar request. Specifically, the request is to meet the following french legislation:

    Article L243-16 - Code de la sécurité sociale - Légifrance (legifrance.gouv.fr)

    Arrêté du 23 mai 2019 fixant les modalités de numérisation des pièces et documents établis ou reçus sur support papier en application de l'article L. 243-16 du code de la sécurité sociale - Légifrance (legifrance.gouv.fr)

    Article A102 B-2 - Livre des procédures fiscales - Légifrance (legifrance.gouv.fr)

    CF - Droit de communication et procédures de recherche et de lutte contre la fraude - Délai et mode de conservation des documents | bofip.impots.gouv.fr


    For the moment, we don't know yet if we will be able to realize something directly in Odoo or if we will have to interface with a service proposed by companies like universign, certeurope, certigna (we haven't checked the services of Lex Persona for the moment). The French legislation is a bit vague from my point of view.

    We can discuss this next week in Liege or Brussels if you want.

    Regards,

    Adrien

    Hello Alexandre,
    We are developing a connector to Lex Persona which can eidas sign documents (pdf, ms office or xml)
    It's almost finished.
    The user can launch a signature workflow from any object that inherits mail.thread.
    If you're interested, I can share our work
    Best regards

    Hi Alex, 

    not within the standards of odoo, in particular not with it's ability to alter anything anytime in postgres (pSQL) and the way the documents are stored. 

    We always use a document management system to fulfil what shall be holding up with compliance. If this a feasible solution for your project , let me know, and I can fill you in then. 
    Together with all the requirements, including DigSig there. Which is often not enough to really prove unaltered records, as the time base and signature provider comes into play, too. We have done a particular Public Sector project in 2001/2 with qualified DigSig in Germany (waybill for hazardous transports) and learned it that way.

    Greeting to Luc 
    Best Joe

  • Re: solution for audit compliant storage of documents for dematerialized document

    Hi Alex,

    having dealt with that very requirement quite often and from a different angle, i would agree and say "no". However, there is more than one law that is relevant here (at least in the German case). Thinks that i am immediately aware of (but that may or may not apply to specific companies) are (but certainy not limited to).

    - GoBD, HGB

    - KassenSichV

    - ProduktHaftG

    - KontraG

    - Basel3

    - Kritis

    - IDW

    in U.S. additionally

    - SOX

    The most important requirement ist the digitally immutable "original" at the time of creation. So this is something that would require (in Europe and according to the most contemporary law) and eIDAS conform signature. I heard people wispering that this will probably be part of Odoo v16 EE (but lets see).

    But even if you have eIDAS there is much more requirements to be fulfilled than only this. Maybe we can have a small discussion on that in Liege next week. As i said i am very much intersted in the topic as well and its gonna be more and more important

    Best Frederik
