Transaction processing systems (TPS) process the company's business transactions and thus support the operations of an enterprise. A TPS records a non-inquiry transaction itself, as well as all of its effects, in the database and produces documents relating to the transaction.
The General Ledger System (GLS) developed by Legler Systems in California (CA) is based on the client-server model and supports many special features for handling the general ledger and financial reporting functions in small businesses and midsize companies.
FRS 18 defines accounting policies as 'those principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by an entity that specify how the effects of transactions and other events are to be reflected in its financial statements'. ... These policies should then be reviewed regularly to ensure that they remain appropriate.
