1 Secretariaat: ECP Postbus AG Leidschendam Self-assessment for Reliable Cash Register Quality Mark Version 0.3, 10 May 2012 The self-assessment is a questionnaire for producers and suppliers of cash registers on compliance with the standards. These standards are described in the document Norm voor een Betrouwbaar Afrekensysteem (Standard for a Reliable Cash Register). They have been set by the Provisional Participants' Council (Voorlopige Raad van Deelnemers) of the Reliable Cash Registers Foundation (Stichting Betrouwbare Afrekensystemen). The self-assessment provides the Reliable Cash Registers Foundation with information about the extent to which the cash register meets the standard for a reliable cash register. It also shows the possible risks involved. A score model is used to provide producers and suppliers of cash registers with insight into possible points of improvement. Quality demands continuous attention Producers of cash registers are aware of the fact that a growth strategy is required in order to continually improve the quality of the control measures and to obtain a higher score on the selfassessment. This is also necessary due to the strong increase in the number of (technical) features to influence the quality of the data. This threat must be dealt with at all times. The document 'Self-assessment for a Reliable Cash Register Quality Mark' is divided on the basis of the four control objectives stated in the document Standard for a Reliable Cash Register ( Norm voor een Betrouwbaar Afrekensysteem. The division into - chapters - paragraphs - key questions (in boxes) is in line with the document Standard for a Reliable Cash Register, as determined by the Provisional Participants' Council. The definitions used in this document have been laid down in a Standard for a Reliable Cash Register Each objective describes the following: - control objective. - description, the rationale (the why) - classification. - conformity requirements, the success criteria required in order to successfully complete the self-assessment. - explanatory questions. - score, which gives - for each standard - an overview of the scores obtained for each main question. - statement, which summarises the conclusion and confirms the applicant's opinion. The same format is used for all explanatory questions. This format has a number of fixed elements: - no.: the numbering of the questions for cash registers. The questions and numbering follow the division of Standard for a Reliable Cash Register. - questions: these must be answered in a concise and clear manner. - standard: criterion that a cash register must meet. 'Objective' explains the purpose of a Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 1 of 40

2 standard that has been set. - description: explanation of the objective. - classification: describes the degree of effectiveness of the objectives within the selfassessment. This could be low, medium or high. The classification can be adjusted in a specific situation as a result of a risk analysis. Score You determine the degree of conformity on the basis of a score. This score is expressed in a percentage between 0 and 100. As an indication, we state the significance you can attach to five percentages. 100% excellent The measures are highly effective. Users are unable to circumvent the measures taken in the cash register. Nor outside the cash register. The measures have undergone extensive testing. 80% good The measures are effective. Users are unable to circumvent the measures taken in the cash register or are only able to do so with special efforts. The system contains sufficient measures in order to detect and identify a violation. 60% sufficient The measures taken are sufficiently effective. The cash register is, however, insufficiently able to prevent a conscious violation. 40% mediocre The measures taken are insufficiently effective. 20% poor The measures taken are incomplete and ineffective. N/A Not applicable. Each section contains guidelines on the basis of which a score is given. These guidelines are still being developed. If the measures taken meet all conformity requirements, this will result in a 100% score, or 'excellent'. This is the aspiration level. Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 2 of 40

3 1. Record all events Control objective The cash register must record all events entered by the user as early as during the formalisation phase. The formalisation phase is the phase of the sale before it is formally concluded by means of a payment. Special events, such as discounts, returns, terminated transactions, withdrawals and training mode are characterised as such. This allows for an assessment of whether the transactions actually conducted have also been registered and paid in a correct, complete and timely manner. Explanation The cash register records the data of and on the sales transactions in detail. The data of and on incomplete sales transactions remain stored as well. NB: for the concept of 'event', this document uses the broad definition of actions and activities resulting in input or output in the cash register. A transaction falls under the concept of 'event'. Description, the rationale (the why) The cash register must record all relevant events. As a result, it will create an audit trail, which makes it possible to reconstruct reality afterwards. The presence of a relevant audit trail supports the correctness, completeness and timeliness of the transactions recorded. A cash register records both the data of a sales transaction and the data of an action or activity in the framework of the registration process. If the user records all actions in a cash register, including the data of the person conducting them, the cash register will record information that can be used by the user to control the business. This also offers the opportunity to assess the correctness and completeness of the recording of the actual activities afterwards. It also has a preventive effect. Data are recorded (and stored) before and independently from the fact whether the transactions are formally completed. Classification The classification shows the extent to which a cash register meets the objective to meet the standard which has been set for each question and detailed question. You state the score for each standard. Conformity requirements The cash register registers the data elements of the actions performed during the various processes (events also including transactions). These continue to be archived during the retention period. The cash register must not only record data. It must also offer the possibility to assess them. The cash register contains measures to protect critical data against unauthorised and undocumented changes. You must document the system of measures to protect the data against unauthorised changes. Explanatory questions By conducting the self-assessment, you form a picture of the extent to which the cash register meets the system of standards. The questions will help you with this.

Statement I state that the cash register processes corrections without changing the original transaction. Incorrect transactions are not deleted. Changes are recorded by means of an audit trail to the original transaction. Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 14 of 40

15 2. Integrity of recordings Control objective The cash register may not contain any functionality that affects the integrity of the recording. It processes all the data entered and records them in files, counters and reports. This is done in a way that shows the correct, on time and complete processing. The cash register does not support any functions that affect this objective. Explanation of this control objective: the cash register supports the processing of provable reliable information that allows the user to keep accounts that meet the statutory requirements. The cash register does not contain any functionality that can be used to change or delete recorded data without showing who is responsible for this, what was changed or deleted and when this was done. Are any changes made to the software of the cash register? In that case, you record who did this, what was changed and why and when this was done. If the user of the cash register has the possibility to change the cash register, the cash register will record the changes. These data must be archived for seven years. You adequately record the documentation of the functionalities of the cash register and of the changes thereto (version management). Description, the rationale (the why) The cash register may not contain any functionality that changes or deletes recorded data. Changes to the cash register by the producer or supplier must be recorded. Moreover, the various versions of cash registers must be stored. This makes it possible to reconstruct reality afterwards. The essence of this control objective is to determine the correctness and completeness of the recorded events. This prevents the unauthorised mutation of recorded data. Here, a distinction can be made between, on the one hand, using functionality within the cash register itself and, on the other hand, access the database outside the cash register. The architecture of the cash register partly determines the extent to which the measures are more or less aimed at data protection. Payment systems with architecture with embedded software and closed files require a different set of measures than cash registers whereby software and data are managed by on-line solution providers. Payment systems in an accessible PC automation environment require appropriate techniques in order to secure the data. Classification The classification shows the extent to which a cash register meets the objective to meet the standard which has been set for each question and detailed question. You state the score for each standard. Conformity requirements The functionalities and the changes thereto are documented. Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 15 of 40

16 The software is protected against unauthorised changes. The recorded events must be correct and complete. It should be possible to audit the recorded events. Changes to recorded events are provably filed. The audit trail of changes is filed provable. Any (attempt) of access of the database from outside the cash register is detected and recorded. The cash register records changes to recorded events. It protects the data against unauthorised changes. Explanatory questions During the self-assessment, you answer questions with reference to the standards. The following questions can help you with this The cash register does not contain any functionality that can be used to change or delete recorded data without showing who is responsible for this, what was changed or deleted and when this was done. No. Questions Objectives Classification Does the cash register contain any functionality that can be used to change or delete recorded data without showing who is responsible for this, what was changed or deleted and when this was done? Recorded data cannot be changed or deleted. High Is it possible to change or delete data already recorded within the cash register? How is this managed? Is it possible to access the database outside the cash register? If so, is an external access (changes and/or deletions) of the database detected, recorded and reported by the cash register? How is this managed? Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 16 of 40

22 3. Storing recordings Control objective Recordings are permanently stored. This applies to the data of trans actions, events, permanent and semi-permanent data. The information can be provided quickly and properly. Explanation of this control objective The cash register provides provable reliable information that allows the user to keep accounts that meet the requirement of auditability within a reasonable period. Recordings are archived during the retention period. The authenticity, auditability and integrity of the recordings are demonstrably guaranteed. Any violations of the authenticity and integrity of the recordings are prevented and actively detected. Description, the rationale (the why) Recordings are permanently stored and the information can be provided quickly and properly. The archiving of the data must be organised such that it is possible to establish afterwards that the data are a correct and sufficiently complete representation of reality. A reliable cash register gives a permanently reliable picture of the sales concluded in reality. It does so on the basis of the data on the sales transactions and the events, and on the basis of the related reports. For a proper operational management, these data must be recorded correctly in a cash register. First of all in order to be able to quickly and properly implement and, where possible, improve the business process of direct sales to consumers. But also in order to account for the operational management. The quality of the data must be sufficient so that they can have and continue to have evidential value. Data derive their evidential value from the degree to which they are indisputably correct, complete and timely. The degree of integrity, authenticity and auditability determines the indisputability and evidential value. The cash register contains measures in order to guarantee the evidential value. The functioning of the cash register is supervised during the execution of the process, but also after some time. For instance, an external accountant or the Tax and Customs Administration carries out the supervision after the end of the period in which the sales transactions have been recorded by means of the cash register. This control objective aims to have the quality of the recordings in the cash register keep its evidential value throughout the retention period. This way, the recording forms the basi s of a quick and proper audit. A cash register takes measures in order to give the data sufficient evidential value and to have these data keep this value throughout the retention period. An audit trail ensures that information in a report or file can be traced back to the data recorded in the cash register. The audit trail can also establish a link with related processes and events. For example, with accounts, payments, stock movements and management information systems that each have their own audit tra il. In the cash register, functions are included in the software in order to secure data and record changes. Appropriate techniques are used to protect the digital data against changes that cannot be audited properly and quickly. The definition of auditability is: the possibility to establish how information provision and its components are structured. The aim is to have a picture of reality that is as reliable as possible at the moment when the data are assessed. This is necessary in order to make the ri ght decision on the basis of the information presented. Keurmerk Het Betrouwbare Afrekensysteem Page 22 of 40

23 Information must be provided properly and quickly. The aim of the requirement of auditability within a reasonable period is to keep the completion time of an audit as short as possible. A usable def inition of a reasonable period is: following the period of time a cash register needs in order to provide reports and files on the basis of the recorded data. In view of the current state of the art, most reports and files can be supplied almost immediately. In special circumstances, it is acceptable if the information is provided within a few weeks. All recordings in the cash register are archived throughout the retention period. This is done in such a way that the data can be provided to the supervisory authority within a reasonable period from the moment when this authority asks for it. Throughout the retention period, the correctness and completeness of the recorded data are guaranteed. Classification The classification shows the extent to which a cash register meets the objective to meet the standard which has been set for each question and detailed question. You state the score for each standard. The recorded data must be stored. It should be possible to audit the recorded data. The recorded data must be provided within a reasonable period. Critical data must be protected against unauthorised and undocumented changes. The system of measures to store the data throughout the retention period and protect them against unauthorised changes is documented. The data are protected against unauthorised changes. The cash register ensures that a regular backup is made. All data are stored, so that the audit trail continues to exist. Explanatory questions During the self-assessment, you answer questions with reference to the system of standards. The following questions can help you with this The cash register demonstrably provides reliable information that allows the user to keep records that meet the requirement of auditability within a reasonable period.

34 4. The report is clear and reliable Control objective The reports provide a reliable and clear picture of the recordings in the cash register. Explanation of this control objective: the authenticity and integrity of the recordings and the reports are guaranteed. The reports clarify the connection with the recordings in the cash register. Recordings are stored during the retention period. Any changes to the configuration of the report can only be made by the manufacturer, the supplier or the installer of the cash register. Description, the rationale (the why) The reports of a cash register offer a clear and reliable picture of reality for a certain period. Any report can be traced back to reality using the recording of data and the audit trail in particular. The reports must be complete and the cash register must guarantee this completeness. Opmerking [BZ2]: Jargon: A correct, timely and complete report of the recorded information is necessary in order to use the information from the cash register in the organisation. This information is necessary in order to manage the organisation, but also in order to account for the operational management. The value of reports and selections from data files, text reports or information provided in another manner increases if it is clear that they form part of the total. But also how they form part of this. An example is revenue that is recorded for training purposes. This revenue does not form part of the revenue that is recorded in the financial accounts. This revenue does, however, form part of the total revenue recorded and is described as such. Moreover, this revenue is visibly eliminated as revenue that cannot be recorded in the financial accounts. The aim of this control objective is to have the cash register produce correct, timely and complete reports. The reports must also contain an audit trail to the data originally recorded. As a result, the reports will correspond with the data actually entered. Vice versa, the cash register ensures that the data correspond with the reports. Classification The classification shows the extent to which a cash register meets the objective to meet the standard which has been set for each question and detailed question. You state the score for each standard. Conformity requirements The reports are correct, timely and complete. The reports have an audit trail. The role of the reports in the daily closing is clear. The set of measures taken in order to have correct, timely and complete reports is documented. All data are reported, so that the audit trail continues to exist.
