Jan 16, 2019 - Jakarta - SAS helps leading ASEAN banks comply with evolving regulatory standards
As the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) deadline inches closer, financial institutions need to act fast in their convergence of functions, technology and models.

This mechanism allows for the issuance of invoices and receipts allowing for proper and full tax and accounting compliance.
