Rae- Anything that would discourage corporate skullduggery would be most welcome.
I have used Peachtree Accounting software in two different situations, and two different versions of it.
As long it is possible to keep two different set of books, I don't believe that any software can touch the problem.

No substitute for honesty and principles, I'm afraid.

In my old job, I used AccPac, and loved it. In this job, we use QuickBooks Professional. I don't like it, but, I'm still trying to get used to it.
