AccountIT Functions
Each of the functions / features of AccountIT that can be access controlled by "Roles and Permissions" will be registered as a "AccountIT Function", such that a System Administrator can give access to that function to a user.
Audit Trail
The data store will record all activities done by users related to AccountIT. The record will provide enough information to answer questions of type "who did what when", i.e. able to account for e.g. creating a user, deleting a user and a user updating the books with an invoice.
Books
The data store will record the book-keeping activities performed by clerical staff (for updating the books in connection with e.g. invoicing), accountants (for updating the books in connection with periodical account balancing), auditors (in connection with auditing) and managers (in connection with viewing financial status).
