for details.  Further, I am not an accountant.  It is possible that this code
could be useful to you in meeting regulatory reporting requirements for your
business.  It is also possible that the software could report misleading
information which could land you in a lot of trouble if used for regulatory
purposes.  Really, you should check with a qualified accountant.LicenceCopyright (C) 2021, Cyberapocalypse LimitedThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
