An effective way of managing cost is sometimes by way of cosourcing or outsourcing. Although the cost of hiring, managing and supporting appropriate finance and accounting staff is a clear and necessary cost of doing business, not many small businesses can afford it. Even those businesses that may afford the cost might want to focus more on their core business, rather than the routine accounting issues. And because the LAW requires businesses to maintain accounting systems and appropriate business management processes, Businesses have to undergo this painful budget constraint of acquiring the relevant staff to manage those systems. These challenges often lead to:
- Lapses in internal accounting controls;
- Unsuitable choices in selecting accounting tools and resources;
