Perhaps in this way the different international packages could be 
defined for downloading.
Other countries have their own particular quirks, e.g., G.S.T., goods 
and services tax. The VAT module may well only need renaming for that 
purpose.

I note in the project description that the aim is to meet international 
accounting standards, but does this provide the necessary compliance 
requirements for acceptance by the multitude of national tax departments 
for their respective endorsements?

Just my take, but I think that this would be the fastest way to gain 
market acceptance if these respective tax departments were to list the 
future Advacs package as approved goods, as this is generally the first 
place accountants look when determining their software requirements.
I have already emailed the Australian tax dept. re their compliance 
requirements, but perhaps a little further research might pay dividends 
with regard to acceptance within the U.S. and other markets?
Regards,

David.
