Producto del levantamiento de informaci?n, de las entrevistas realizadas con los rectores y funcionarios encargados de la informaci?n financiera y de la revisi?n de las exigencias que se realizan para la construcci?n de la informaci?n, por parte de las entidades de control departamental, se detecta que es indispensable crear una herramienta que le sirva como base a estos entes educativos, para presentar la informaci?n financiera y el manejo de un sistema contable.
