audit recommendation - dump gnucash??

[Robert Kesterson]

That's a pretty lame reason, in my opinion.  For one, it's not well founded -- GnuCash developers are actually pretty quick to fix actual bugs, and this list is quick to assist with user errors and issues.  And for another, the exact same comment could be made about *any* accounting software, "licensed" or otherwise.  It sounds to me like they just aren't familiar or comfortable with GnuCash and are just looking for a reason not to recommend it.  If that's the best they could come up with, I think it speaks well of GnuCash.

The auditors have included in their recommendation letter that we abandon Gnucash and purchase a licensed accounting system, the implication of using Gnucash being: "Any malfunctions that occur arising from the use of the software may not be rectified by the vendor on a timely basis and that may have an adverse impact on the accounting records of the Organisation”
