Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] sql-ledger and international accounting standards / documentation

[Thomas S. <ps...@on...>]

Surly we want to comply, as best we can with International Accounting
Standards and Generally Accepted Accouting Principles. But various standards
committies have varying standards, yet most of these standards are about
Human Practice rather then to how an accounting program works. SQL-Ledger
has an A/R, A/P and a G/L, does Income Statements and Balance Sheets,
with those in place its pretty much up to you to follow standards. But
like I said, if SQL-Ledger can be improved to help facilitate standard
practices then we should do so.
