Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Algerian SCF (Financial Accounting System)?

The SCF is the Algerian accounting framework in force since 2010, largely inspired by IFRS and adapted to the national context. It mandates a 7-class chart of accounts, a Current/Non-current split in the balance sheet, and the production of compliant financial statements: Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Statement of Changes in Equity. CassKai natively integrates the SCF chart of accounts and automatically generates these financial statements.

How does CassKai handle Jibayatic G50 and G50A filings?

CassKai automatically prepares the elements needed for monthly G50 filings (collected VAT, deductible VAT, payroll IRG, IBS advance payments) from accounting entries. For lump-sum regime businesses, CassKai generates the data for the G50A return. Files are ready to be entered or imported into the DGI Jibayatic platform.

Does CassKai automatically apply the right IBS rates for my activity?

Yes. CassKai distinguishes between manufacturing (IBS at 19%), construction, tourism and thermal activities (23%), and trade and services (26%). Your initial company setup determines the applicable rate, and CassKai automatically calculates the quarterly provisional payments and annual IBS settlement.

Is CassKai ready for the extended electronic invoicing rolled out by Jibayatic since 2026?

Yes. Since January 2026, Jibayatic has been gradually extending electronic invoicing to service activities. CassKai has anticipated this evolution: compliant sequential numbering, mandatory NIF and CNRC number, secure legal archiving, and continuous adaptation to DGI technical specifications as they are published.

Does CassKai handle the Algerian Dinar and foreign currency transactions?

Yes. CassKai natively uses the Algerian Dinar (DZD) as the bookkeeping currency. For foreign currency operations (import-export), CassKai handles exchange differences in accordance with SCF and tracks foreign currency commitments subject to Bank of Algeria exchange controls.

What are the advantages of CassKai over Sage or local solutions in Algeria?

CassKai was designed for the realities of Algerian SMEs: native SCF integration, automatic preparation of Jibayatic G50/G50A filings, automatic application of IBS rates by activity, Dinar and exchange difference management, AI assistant for cash monitoring and treasury. Unlike Sage which requires costly customisation, or local solutions often limited to pure bookkeeping, CassKai brings a real financial steering dimension oriented towards decision-making.
