As Morocco approaches the generalization of electronic invoicing, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face a profound transformation of their administrative and accounting practices. Fekkak Chanani, Secretary General of the Professional Organization of Accountants and Chartered Accountants of Morocco, emphasized that the real challenge is human rather than technological.
According to Chanani, the transition requires not only new software but also a change in mindset and skills among business owners and their staff. Many SMEs lack digital literacy and may struggle with the new system, which aims to improve tax compliance and reduce fraud.
The Moroccan government has been gradually implementing e-invoicing, with a full rollout expected by 2026. However, experts warn that without adequate training and support, the reform could burden small businesses. Chanani called for awareness campaigns and capacity-building programs to ease the transition.
This initiative aligns with Morocco's broader digital transformation strategy, but its success hinges on human adaptation. The deadline for compliance remains a key concern for the business community.
