+= About Accounting
+
+The Accounting system is organized according to generally accepted principles
+such as double-entry accounting, a General Ledger with hierarchical accounts,
+journals and posting of transactions and corresponding entries.
+
+The structure is primary based on the OMG GL standard and the work that was done
+on an AR/AP extension of the OMG GL standard. This correlates well with other
+standards such as ebXML and OAGIS.
+
+The Accounting entities are structured such that accounts for multiple
+organizations can be managed. The multiple organizations could be multiple
+companies, or departments or other organizations within a company. Each
+Organisation can have various GL Accounts associated with it so that it can
+operate with its own subset of the Master Chart of Accounts.
+
+Each Organisation can also have its own set of Journals for flexibility, even
+though the use of Journals should be as minimal as possible in favour of allowing
+the system to automatically create and post transactions based on business events
+triggered by standard procedures and documents such as purchase and sales orders,
+invoices, inventory transfers, payments, receipts, and so on.
+
