Which accounting software is currently used by FSFE?
FSFE currently uses plain CSV files which are to a very large extent automatically filled from various sources like electronic bank account statements, reports from our credit card payment provider, and so on. All of that is very individually tailored to FSFE's needs.
At the end of the year, our tax consultant distills the legally required reports from these CSV files.
Has FSFE developed any scripts that are used for:
- fetching data from public sites (like the bank)
- transforming/normalizing the data
- producing the reports (e.g. balance sheet) from time to time?
and could they be shared?
I wonder if people could use the CSV files to automatically populate databases for the various free software solutions[1] and see them side by side.
Are there any other free software tools used in the process, e.g. the Firefox plugin ExportToCSV[2]?

Daniel
