In Germany, tax auditors are allowed by law to access and verify data digitally from the electronic bookkeeping process during the statutory archiving period. There are three different ways to access the data for the tax authorities:
Direct access
Indirect access
Surrender of data media
The principles for data access and testing of digital documents are also referred to as Grundsätze zum Datenzugriff und zur Prüfbarkeit digitaler Unterlagen (GDPdU). In Microsoft Dynamics AX, the surrender of data media can be performed by using the GDPdU data export methods.
