The documentary cycle in any hospital is a system that determines the progress of the various operations within hospitals, which aims to organize all documents related to the hospital, starting from editing them, until they are collected in different books that can be viewed, to help the auditor in the conduct of his work.

It is clear from the previous definition the value and importance of the documentary cycle for private hospitals, as it is considered the largest evidence of the hospital's work, and the presence of some financial transactions that take place inside and outside the institution, in addition to some other advantages, which are as follows:
