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. Generic GL-oriented accounting systems have not been designed with project phases, work breakdowns or detailed time capturing in mind, and thus they can merely report how much has been spent or collected, but not why a certain project is losing or winning money.

Sarbanes-Oxley and MAS 90, MAS 200 and MAS 500 by C3 Solutions Inc
Abstract : The Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 (also known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 0f 2002) was passed by US lawmakers to reinforce honest and transparent corporate practices in the wake of the various public accounting scandals and corporate failures of the 1990s. The Act, named after US Senator Paul S. Sarbanes and US Congressman Michael G. Oxley, has changed the way public companies do business. Although not specifically covered under the Act, non-public entities are also finding that bankers, investors, and acquisition candidates are now conditioned to expect increased transparency and real-time disclosures, in effect placing a greater accounting and reporting burden on companies that are not legally obligated to comply with this act. As with any far-reaching legislation of this magnitude, there is plenty of hype that has emerged in connection with this law. This document is designed to help companies large and small navigate some of the "hype" that sometimes blurs the line between fact and fiction.
