Oh Colombia, a beautiful country situated in the northwest of South America, with stunning beaches, an abundant history and a very spectacular culture. What wouldn’t US corporation want to expand its operations to that wonderful territory, right?
However, before expanding your business to Latin America, specifically Colombia, let me give you a few tips that might be a lifesaver for your company.
Latin America is not the United States
First of all, every country in Latin America has different back office accounting requirements that are no similar at all to the ones required in the United States.
Colombian Legal Ledgers
In Colombia, you’re legally required to close your accounting books on a monthly basis and send those results to the colombian tax agency called DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales).
The government does this mainly because it’s the best way to prevent fraud and money laundering. And of course, just like any other regulation, your accounting books results will need to use a pixel perfect, sometimes complex, specific required structure.
