A Tampa CPA Explains the Definition of a Source Document

Tampa CPASuccess in business relies on sound accountancy, and sound business accountancy relies on documentation. One major reason for that is, without proper records, a company is vulnerable in the face of an Internal Revenue Service audit. Just as important as legal protection is, simply, being able to use records to gauge a company’s profitability by comparing past performance to current performance – and using that information to decide how to do things going forward. The primary tool for proper record keeping is the source document.
