I do not profess to more knowledgeable than anyone else, but, I believe 
that you need to access books, documentation, and/or tuition, applicable 
to your location, as different countries and regions have different 
applicable laws relating to acceptable accounting practices, and to tax 
laws, which are an integral part of accounting practices.

I am an unqualified lay person, but, such is my belief.
