What kind of things would those be? Things like tax rates?

I know that here in South Africa bookkeepers need accounting software 
customized for this market. Without tax rules built in, they end up 
with a bunch of accounts & ledgers that balance and then have to work 
out all the tax stuff themselves. Which makes the package a whole lot 
less useful than it could be.
