Is your business and accounting software totally foolproof and trustworthy? ~ a North American perspective by Microsoft Business Solutions
Abstract : Recent accounting scandals, highlighted by cases at Enron, Arthur Andersen, WorldCom, and Qwest, have emphasized the need for corporate governance, especially responsible corporate accounting. Not only must businesses use responsible accounting methods, but they must know that their methods are accurate. Small and mid-sized businesses must know the limitations of their current accounting software; understand the possible ramifications of system accounting balance failure; and take steps to guarantee the integrity, reliability, and accuracy of their systems. This white paper highlights the need to recognize problematic software accounting methods; minimize errors in account balance integrity, ledgers, and sub ledgers; and reduce the need for expensive rectification, to avoid serious legal ramifications.

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 22, 2005 Abstract : Project-oriented organizations have many project-specific business and accounting requirements often in compliance with complex industry-specific and regulatory requirements.
