I've talked to multiple accountants about the issue of rounding and none of them seem to be all that worried about it, frankly. Their argument is that a rounding error is not material and therefore doesn't matter. My argument is that if you have a series of rounding errors, they can add up to a material amount over time. The answer I usually get back is that simply documenting how rounding should is handled and making sure the rule is applied consistently is sufficient. That's why I think it's fine to simply make it configurable on the reporting side. I think it's rarely going to be the case that accountants take issue with any rounding system as long as it's well documented and clear. That's why I've suggested we just have it as configurable as possible on what Ledger-CLI outputs: then, users can implement whatever rounding rules they want. -- bkuhn -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
