13. Treasury Regimes & Systems
In many ways, for years. locally established enterprises have resorted to an assortment of tax
and/or duty related benefits.
Offered on an ongoing or temporary basis by governmental entities, promoting socio-
economic development, these gave rise to a speciality known as tributary architecture, applied
to numerous cross-functional corporate areas such as logistics, financial control, accounting,
human resources, product and service operations, etc.
This strategic management tactical resource has ensured exceptional financial and/or
economic savings for those investing in generating manufacturing, processing and/or service
rendering improvements in Brazil.
Ultimately, all generate cross border prosperity as income is applied and distributed in an
improved manner.
To some extent, this managerial performance improvement tool is becoming increasingly
digitalized in it’s operational application aspect, qualifying corporations with proactive, precise,
intelligent implementations, an auditing simulator and/or deployment and monitoring
capabilities, bringing about numerous additional competitive advantages.
13

14. Treasury Regimes & Systems
The Brazilian tributary regime is ruled by 79 tributes and over 5
thousand laws, subject to the amazing average of 3 alterations at
every two hours according to surveys performed by industry
specialists.
Within such a framework, it’s perfectly understandable that
companies - despite resorting to specialized professional services
on a routine basis - even then oversee opportunities, fail to make
continued use (irrespective of occasional application) and/or simply
incur in non-conformities, all of which impact margin contribution
drivers.
Amongst other preventive and corrective actions, currently, the local
Government is implementing the Public Digital Bookkeeping System
(SPED) to substitute traditional bookkeeping recordings,
declarations and cross-checking routines for an electronic
equivalent.
Likewise, SINTEGRA – Product and Services Inter-State Operations Integrated Information System – was
introduced to facilitate the inflow of information supplied by contributors to State Treasuries and to enhance
data exchange at and between administrative bureaus emulating the European IVA model - with due
tropicalization.- to safeguard constitutional federalism rulings.
The quest is to ensure information of interest is relayed to treasuries at federal, state and municipal levels,
tax departments, exchanged and cleared between the numerous public and private parties engaged in the
Brazilian tax compliance and governance scenario.

17. SPED Fiscal & Accounting
Fiscal Digital Bookkeeping (EFD) is a digital file that comprises a set of recordings concerning fiscal
documents and other information of interest to state treasuries and the Brazilian Federal Tax Department,
depicting the registers of tax settlings relative to operations and presentations accounted for by contributors.
Therefore Fiscal SPED is no more than a file to be digitally signed and transmitted over the internet to the
automated environment known as SPED. Likewise, Accounting SPED is a tailored system module, defined
as substitute to traditional mercantile bookkeeping. Both have been vouched by IOB – one of the most
accredited local organizations of this skill domain offering objective information - to which many members
of the accounting community in Brazil resort to for guidance at times of change in current rulings.
Objectives:
Painting of Luca Pacioli, attributed to Jacopo de` Barbari. Source: Wikipedia
Promote the integration of federal, state and forthcoming municipal treasuries;
Standardize and rationalize the supply of information to regulatory and fiscalizing institutions (Central
Bank of Brazil-BACEN, Stock Exchange Commission-CVM, Federal Tax Department-SRF and
Superintendence of Private Insurance-Susep);
Allow for shared access to digital registries placed by contributors by duly legally authorized parties;
Speed the identification of tributary illegitimacies;
Increase the contributor at fault’ s perception of risk;
Social Benefits:
Increment tribute proceedings /collections.
Document storage cost reduction;
Cost reduction upon compliance with accessory obligations;
Information exchange between contributors as of a standardized layout;
Reduction in time invested given the presence of fiscal auditors at the contributor’s premises;
Simplification and speed-up of procedures subject to the control of the Union’s, State, Federal Capital
and Municipal regulatory and treasury management institutions;
Reduction of involuntary involvement in fraudulent practices;
Formatting of information taxpayers relay to varied federal, regulatory and fiscalizing institutions;
17

18. Electronic Invoicing (NF-e)
The Electronic Nota Fiscal (NF-e) solution interacts with major market ERPs, generating an
XML format file according to the layout as defined in the Taxpayer’s Manual. Digital signatures
are certified and auxiliary documents holding bi-dimensional barcodes (DANFE) are printed.
Batch files and permit requests follow suit to Treasury so as to obtain authorization to issue
NF-e`s. The solution thus expedites this complex local procedure that often bottlenecks
logistics and on occasion impairs an entire SCM corporate process from following through
flawlessly, in Brazil. Margins are ultimately seriously impacted and so is the economic
scenario. Mitigating risks of this nature goes beyond corporate frontiers. It`s about being
socially responsible locally and overseas.
