Regarding the Acquisition of "JIIMA Certification"

In recent years, with the revision of the Act on Electronic Bookkeeping and Tax System, the digitization of national tax-related ledgers and documents and compliance with the law have been rapidly advancing among businesses. Amidst this trend, for many customers considering the introduction or renewal of systems, a reliable confirmation of whether a product complies with the latest laws and regulations has become an important decision criterion. As there is a demand for indicators that can objectively confirm legal compliance, Yayoi has obtained this certification to provide an environment where customers can select and use products with peace of mind.

The "Electronic Ledger Software Legal Requirements Certification" obtained by "Yayoi Accounting Next" this time is a system where JIIMA, a third-party organization, objectively reviews and certifies that the software meets the functional requirements for "superior electronic ledgers" under the Act on Electronic Bookkeeping and Tax System.

With the acquisition of this certification, it has been recognized by a third-party organization that "Yayoi Accounting Next" is a highly reliable service compliant with the said Act. This will significantly reduce the burden on users for individual legal requirement checks at the time of implementation, allowing them to smoothly start or transition to operation as a "superior electronic ledger."
