J. Daniel Mahoney is the source for more interesting facts. This technology offers great advantages in the preparation, analysis and communication of data.

With this, the country will give plus a step in direction the adaptation the norms international countable, as already it happens with the credential companies to auditarem rockings in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standard).
