BOKIN Documentation

* Motive

We planned an accounting system which meets the following requirement:
Easy to verify the correctness of accounting
It is needless to say that the correctness in accounting calculations is important, but it is also important to be able to verify the correctness. In BOKIN, all processing is file base, and is described in some simple batch commands written by scheme language and in Makefile. All intermediate files are left after the calculations.
Applicable to large-scale accouting
You can do efficient calculations with various computers regardless of the scale of the dimension. Using make(1), you can obtain the output you want by a minimum procedure, and you can execute jobs which don't depend mutually in parallel.

* User

Though the main target is corporate user, BOKIN will be useful in wide fields. However, the knowledge of the double-entry bookkeeping is required.

* Target

This program read transactions from text file, calculate them and write various slits with various format which includes text, LaTex, HTML and etc. Currently we are planning following slits:
  • Journal
  • Key ledger
  • Balance sheet
  • Income sheet
  • Cash flow statement
  • Consolidated financial statements

Customizing using scheme is possible.

It is possible to correspond to accounting in a wide field by changing the account definition file.

Supported OS
  • GNU system - Debian, Fedora, Suse
  • BSD system - FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOSX
  • Various POSIX compatible system
Depending software

* Result

Version 0.3 released. This version supports printing financial statement using TeX. (TeX is a typesetting program composed by Donald Knuth, and is free software.) At present, only Japanese is supported.

* Business model

Account system BOKIN is a commercial software based on BOKIN model .

The model tries to obtain business income by donation from users.

Besides, we are also planning support, customizing service and publishing manual for advanced user.
