Quick thought: not sure what other institutions use for "accounts", but we 
use Sage software which sets up the MySQL db to *two* decimal points for 
all items and at all three tax levels (0, 5 and 13%) -- it would perhaps be 
useful, particularly if other accounting systems do the same, to maintain 
consistency (or at least allow the choice.)  The rounding errors are minor 
(they rarely if ever cascade), but a PITA for the auditors.
