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.
