What ZATCA requires
ZATCA compliance is an operating model, not just a technical connector. Teams need governance, validation controls, document archiving, exception workflows, and clear ownership across finance, tax, and IT.
Implementation model
- Governance track: policy, SOPs, control matrix, monthly monitoring.
- Data track: tax codes, party master data, document lifecycle consistency.
- Integration track: ERP invoice events, API signing/submission, retry logic.
- Assurance track: pre-prod tests, rejection triage, periodic internal audits.
