Standard Edition vs. Enterprise and Modifiable Editions

The main difference between the Standard Edition and the Enterprise (and Modifiable) Edition is the questions themselves. Starting with the 4,000+ questions in the Enterprise, we deleted 1,500 questions to create the Standard Edition. While both versions address similar topics, the Standard Edition does so in less detail simply because many organizations looking at the products in this particular database do not require as sophisticated functionality as do larger organizations.

This exhibit lists all of the significant functional and reporting areas addressed by The Accounting Library. Since the Enterprise Edition (and by default the Modifiable Edition) addresses all of these areas, this exhibit indicates whether the Standard Edition addresses the same functional areas as well as the depth of the analysis (1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or not at all).
