Decision 13 · governance

Internal verification policy and evidence records

Decision 13 requires a documented policy identifying who implements, reviews and supervises the verification procedures, with clear powers and responsibilities. It also requires verification steps and supporting records to be retained. Einvoi can structure a readiness workflow and evidence index, but it is not a certified policy generator or a substitute for responsible approval.

FTA Decision No. 13 of 2026 · issued 22 July 2026 · effective 1 October 2026 · English text is an unofficial translation

Build the supplier review queue

Accountability

Make each role explicit

The policy should show who performs the work, who challenges it and who supervises the control environment.

DO

Implementer

Collects the relevant supplier and supply evidence, records the checks performed and flags missing or conflicting information.

REVIEW

Reviewer

Tests whether the evidence and reasoning support the recorded result and sends unresolved matters back for action.

APPROVE

Supervisor / approver

Oversees the procedure, responsibilities and exceptions and records the accountable final decision under the organization's policy.

Readiness workflow

Keep the evidence trail explainable

The workflow should preserve the distinction between an automated signal, a human assessment and the organization's final conclusion.

  1. 01

    Identify scope

    Apply the versioned threshold rules to structured purchases and expose unknown data explicitly.

  2. 02

    Assemble evidence

    Index the supplier-level and supply-level records relevant to the case without uploading raw documents by default.

  3. 03

    Review and resolve

    Assign human-only questions, capture rationale and distinguish missing evidence from an adverse conclusion.

  4. 04

    Retain and recheck

    Keep the dated steps, supporting records and approval trail available for later verification and reverification.

Record architecture

Supplier-level and supply-level evidence are different

Keeping the levels separate makes it possible to reuse current supplier evidence while reviewing every taxable supply on its own facts.

Supplier-level recordSupply-level record
Identity, legal form and authorised representativeDescription, quantity and commercial basis
Actual place of businessPayment method, conditions and parties
Risk indicators and explanationsPrice, margin and activity consistency
Enhanced-tier bank/public-source reviewOrigin, ownership and intermediary rationale
Last verification dateEvidence and decision for the individual taxable supply

Product boundary

Policy readiness is not a compliance certificate

A complete template or workflow does not prove that evidence is authentic, judgement is reasonable or every legal condition is satisfied. Responsible people must adapt, operate and approve the policy for the organization.
