Introduction

How to satisfy the financial information needs with free access technologies? The business environment in the XXI century, wich we can describe as open and internationalized, demands to enterprises an effective managing of their information resources, supplied by information technologies. The contribution of such technologies will be real, and futhermore, will have positive effects on the enterprise competitiveness, only when the way to conceive and use such technologies change qualitatively. Of course, this is not a change to reach in a short or middle term, it could be the result of a planned and conscious organizational change, in wich will be implied both managers and other member of companies whose interests lie about the informational resources, and the development software packages, with free availability to the international community, as is this project, wich current goal is to design an accounting core usable in relational database platforms for a S.A.F. (Financial Administrative System), released under the GPL license. With growing use of electronic interchanging of data, it will be easier to record common operations inside an organization, such as payments, purchases, sales, depreciations, etc. . . . It is expected that the automatic catch of information will be used in more companies. We expect to develop an accounting core able to make basic operations to the normal working of a company, adaptable sufficiently to the needs of a commercial o service offering company. This program contains the Colombian chart of accounts, but may have the US or other chart of the rest countries. all under the GPL licence



But what means Mandala?

Mandala is an eastern word wich refers to the equilibrium in the universe. It is the graphical representation of the relationship among the mind world and the divinity. We wish to bring a tribute to all people who considerate the accounting disciplines as a scaled microcosmos of the whole existence. Anyway, the universe is controlled by a dialetic duality wich establish an action-reaction, a ying-yang, and why not?... debits and credits.
