The General Accounting application handles all the input and automatically generated GA transactions in CMStrade and produces the related management and audit reports.
The GA application is based on classical accounting principles and modern international standards.
It is not a 3rd party software but made by CMS as an integral part of its product.
This permits a very productive cohabitation with the other CMStrade applications, which is crucial because in trading, the control and flow of data is actually 2-way with the other applications.
The essential aim of general accounting is hence realised: to be a measure of the health of the whole business.
CMS thus records in the GA - and retains trace-back to the origins - all the financial activity of all the applications.
This coherence and audit-ability of your business data eases compliance with increasingly exigent regulations.
Furthermore, as the CMStrade Accounts Receivable/Payable and Cost Accounting are full integrated applications too, their needs and mechanisms rightly do not encumber the GA.
Thus, while the CMS accounting applications together comply with the requirement for coherence and completeness, the GA - and the other spplications - is optimised for its own needs and stays elegantly simple to maintain and use.
