DSF and SYSCOHADA financial statements
Your DSF comes out of your books, not a spreadsheet
SynkriaOps computes the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes from your entries, checks their consistency and assembles the DSF bundle as PDF or Excel. Not a customer yet? Import the year's general ledger: your DSF can be ready during the free trial.
14-day free trial, DSF bundle included, no credit card.
Why the DSF still takes weeks
In many companies, the bundle is rebuilt every year in a workbook: the trial balance is copied over, line items are re-keyed, and someone checks by hand that the balance sheet balances and the notes add up. Every copy is a chance for error, and every last-minute correction means starting again.
-
One computation
Statements and notes come from the same entries. Fixing an entry fixes the balance sheet, the result and the notes concerned.
-
Checks before producing
Balance, consistency between statements, significant variations: every point is shown before generation.
-
Every figure can be justified
Click a balance sheet line to see its accounts, its entries, then the source voucher.
The six-step path
Your preparation is saved at every step: you can leave and come back.
-
Scope
The entity, the year, the system (normal or minimal cash-based) and the comparison with the previous year. Nothing to type.
-
Version
Draft to work on, firm review for proofreading, or final version for filing. Standard level or detailed by account.
-
Documents and notes
The statements to include and, under the normal system, the R4 form declaring which notes apply to the entity.
-
Checks
What the checks allow you to produce. A blocking point only prevents the version it concerns.
-
Formats
PDF to read and send, Excel to rework, or both. The firm visa goes on the cover page or in the footer.
-
Summary
Documents, selected notes, estimated pages: you review, then you generate. Nothing is produced before you confirm.
What the bundle contains
-
Cover page and R1 to R4 forms
General information, activity, management, and the index of applicable notes.
-
Balance sheet and income statement
In revised SYSCOHADA format, with the prior-year column computed if the previous year is in SynkriaOps, or entered line by line otherwise.
-
Cash flow statement
Under the normal system. It is absent from the minimal cash-based system, as the framework provides.
-
Statement of changes in equity
Drawn from the year's movements.
-
Notes
Those the R4 form declares applicable; under the minimal system they are selected automatically.
-
An Excel working file
Cover, checks, clickable table of contents, one tab per statement and per note. Computed amounts are protected, inputs stay editable.
Three versions, three uses
| Version | What it is for | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Working. “DRAFT” watermark on every page. | Always possible, even with the year open. |
| Firm review | Proofreading by the firm or a third party. The document states it is not final. | Year open or closed. |
| Final for filing | Sending to the tax authority. | Year closed and no blocking point. |
“Final for filing” means ready to be sent. Filing itself remains your action, with the visa of a chartered accountant when it is required.

DSF questions
Does SynkriaOps file the DSF for me?
No. SynkriaOps prepares and formats the bundle; you send it to the tax authority yourself, with the visa of a chartered accountant when it is required.
Can I prepare my DSF without having kept my books in SynkriaOps?
Yes. Import the year's general ledger (PDF, Excel, CSV), FEC or trial balance from your previous software. Financial statements are computed right after the import.
Is the minimal cash-based system supported?
Yes. The bundle scope shows the entity's system; under the minimal system, the cash flow statement is not produced and notes are selected automatically.
How is the prior-year column filled?
Automatically if the previous year exists in SynkriaOps, for instance after importing it. Otherwise you enter prior-year amounts line by line in the financial statements settings.
Is the Excel file editable?
Computed amounts are protected to stay faithful to the books; input areas, such as note comments, stay editable.
