Features > Accounting Best Practices & ZAP Design Choices
Total Reading Time: 15 minutes
In the corporate world, consultants and process people refer to "Best Practices" a lot. "Best Practices" refers to the "processes and procedures" that have been adopted by like minded business folks because the "processes and procedures" are in fact the best processes for a given situation. Best Practices are most appreciated when they are arrived at and realized experientially. When Best Practices are shared, as in this situation, it is impossible to include all underlying assumptions and constants. Thus, there may always be exceptions to a rule, and if applied out of context, they may not be Best Practices, so common sense and understanding situational assumptions is critical to applying Best Practices in a manner that benefits you.
ZAP Accounting Software can be used in many ways, and it can be built out to do almost anything since it is an open source, data independent accounting solution, but those who understand the parallels between the Design Choices we made and Best Practices will benefit the most, and they will minimize stress related to accounting change and paradigm shifts.
