You are to complete ALL three (3) activities.
Main scenario:
ABC P/L is a digital agency with the focus of producing movies and sound clips. It started ten (10) years ago. They have been using MYOB desktop software. They have lost their accounts person and need an alternative software that is easy to use. ABC P/L is looking for something cloud based. Their intention is to expand into web technologies, but do not want to mix their focus of producing movies/sound clips with their web/mobile-focused company, meaning they will have two (2) separate companies isolated from each other.
They want to use the one accounting package that enables them to maintain their financial accounts and to manage their tax and payroll. In the old days, one person had access to accounting software on the computer. With today's cloud-based solutions, they want to manage their expense by scanning receipts and upload it to the correct account from their mobile phones.
