Tonight I have spent 2 hours with my accountant for preparing/understanding the financial statements and related documents for the year-ended official reports. Apart from the pile of the papers I had to look over, sign and stamp, and chew the awful language that (I have the impression) is not saying anything, there was this special software application that we were supposed to use for having the required data in the formal format the officials asks for.
It should be mentioned that this is the only application one can use for having the paperwork done, and don't ask why. Also, I can say that since we are running a software development shop we happen to know some things about how applications work out. Nevertheless, for some reason, it took us a considerable amount of time trying to figure it out. Imagine that this application is for everybody, and that not all people are computer literate. Then imagine the frustration, the precious time wasted away and figure out how much truth is in the claimed support of the governemnt for the companies (especially SMEs). On the other hand this definitely is a good source for business opportunity, I guess anybody would gladly outsource the process.
Tomorrow I will have the second episode, I will go to three different places for having the papers accepted. Show must go on, I will keep you posted.
