What is an e-balance sheet?

Credit institutions and similar service providers often require a balance sheet in addition to data about your company. A so-called e-balance sheet can, under certain conditions, be downloaded from the Balance Sheet page in AbaNinja Accounting.

If the download is started, the data is prepared accordingly and a PDF will be generated from it.

In addition, an XML file known as XBRL format is added to the PDF as an attachment, which can also be processed automatically by the credit institution.
