Comment: "I went with "There is a well-established system of record-keeping"...maybe not exact, but I think it conveys the right sense, and you pointed me in the right direction.
Thanks to you, and to everybody!"

Voucher system/ administration
I am not really sure as more context would be helpful; however, a BELEG is a voucher in accounting. A BELEG could also be simply a document.
May be this will help for the time being.

receipt / documentation department
Beleg is a receipt or other document. -wesen is likely a department responsible for handling such documents, or (less likely) the totality of document handling rules and procedures applied by such a department.

Proper documentation is kept.
As others have said, Beleg is pretty general - so why should the translation be specific?
Discussion
Die Gesch�ftsvorf�lle wurden vollst�ndig erfasst. Im Bereich der Kundenbetreuung liegen tagesaktuelle Unterlagen zu den Forderungsbest�nden vor. Das Belegwesen ist geordnet. Nach unseren Feststellungen ist die Buchf�hrung ordnungsgem��.
I translated it as:
The business transactions were fully recorded. In the customer support area, current daily data on receivables portfolios are available. The DOCUMENTARY PROOF is organized. Our findings indicate that the bookkeeping is in accordance with regulations.
Could you provide a little more context, please?
