Over the last few months there have been a number of releases of the various software products we support, and as we approach the end of the financial year many users will want to make sure that their financial software is current. 

For the various accounting products we work with this is not essential but it is highly recommended: a number of products have some really good new features available.

If you are running a desktop payroll solution upgrading is essential: tax tables, reorting formats and other requirements relating to the ATO change from year to year, so you really should upgrade to the most recent release.

So which version do you need to be on?  For the products that Viridity supports we list the latest releases below.  If you are not on these you should upgrade as soon as possible (especially payroll users).  If you require any assistance please click here to contact Viridity

With the end of the financial year fast approaching you need to check that your financial software is up to date. 

With accounting software this is not essential but it is highly recommended - upgrading will help you take advantage of new features, provide compatability with new operating systems and ensure you get the best support. 

With payroll software it is a "must do" - the ATO introduced the concept of Reportable Employer Superannuation Contributions from the 1st of July 2009, you are legally obliged to show these amounts on payment summaries you give to your employees at the end of this financial year, and then from July 1 new income tax tables will come into effect (as they do every year).  So you must upgrade to the current releases.
