Yes, but remember Electronic records are subject to the same rules and retention periods as hard copy or paper books and records. Books and records that are created and maintained in electronic format must be kept in an electronically readable format, even if the charity has paper printouts of the electronic records. An electronically readable format means information supported by a system capable of producing an accessible and useable copy that would allow auditors to process and analyze the electronic records on the CRA’s equipment. If any source documents are initially created, transmitted, or received electronically, they must be kept in an electronically readable format. Scanned images of paper documents, records, or books of account that are maintained in electronic format are acceptable if proper imaging practices are followed and documented.

See paragraph 9 of the Electronic Record Keeping Information Circular at www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/ic05-1r1.html for additional information.
