little more life and accountants would be utterly at ease.Progress possible to facilitate efforts paper accounting.Of course, not everything is ready to evaluate them and apply in practice, but this is only temporary mistrust.

So, what is an electronic contract?This document, which replaces the seal and signature of a set of numbers, invented by the client.Of course, the data are protected by the confidential key.And it is much more reliable any signatures and seals that many craftsmen not difficult to forge.

In fact, drawing up a contract is as follows: the two companies agree on how it will look like a signature on an electronic document, and then - the usual formalities.Since the registration document shall be valid, legitimate and lawful.For the exchange of documents of this kind is necessary to have a special mailbox on a secure server, as the corporate server can not always boast of high reliability.

Yesterday it was thought that the formulation of tax accounting, reporting delivery must be made in person, in person accountant inspection bodies.Send the document by e-mail to tax affair seemed fantastic.Now, however, electronic contracts - is a reality.

But we must not forget a number of formalities.So, be sure to store messages that are associated with the conclusion of transactions and the like on the server.After all, if you have problems with partners correspondence stored only on your computer, significant weight will not have.It is necessary to show that the document was sent by e-mail from a certain company, such number.This document may lie in the message body and attached file.What matters is that these should have been.
