The electronic journal serves as a crucial component of a company's accounting records and must be preserved for a minimum of seven years. This requirement not only aids in accurate financial reporting but also includes robust security measures to prevent data manipulation and facilitate the tracking of any changes.
Key points about the electronic journal requirement include:
- Sales and Payment Records: The electronic journal captures and stores comprehensive data on all transactions.
- Mandatory Compliance: All businesses handling cash payments must use a compliant cash register system.

These measures underscore the Swedish Tax Agency's commitment to fostering a transparent and secure financial environment for businesses and consumers. Also, the XML export must be supported from electronic journals which will become a mandate in coming years.
