Question：The following,with one exception,are areas in which an integrated accounting software package has advantages compared to a series of separate(stand-alone)dedicated programs.

 

Which is the exception?

 

A.Data integrity

 

B.Specialised capabilities

 

C.Efficiency in updating data

 

D.Flexibility in preparing reports

 

 

 

 

The correct answer is:B

 

Rationale:An integrated package is expected to do everything,so it may have fewer facilities than specialised modules(especially as it also requires more computer memory).The other options are advantages of integration:ability to update multiple records from one data entry;ability to extract data from all relevant sources to compile specified reports;and less likelihood of discrepancies in different records.
