PACIOLI 01 - Ameland 1995

The PACIOLI project started as a concerted action for the EC consisting of four workshops; the first workshop farm accounting and information management was held March 1995 on the Dutch island of Ameland. The objective of PACIOLI is to explore the needs for and feasibility of projects on the innovation in farm accounting and its consequences for the data-gathering with Farm Accountancy Data Networks (FADN). In the first workshop the objectives of the project were discussed and it was concluded that the main objectives for innovation in the FADN's are improvement of the quality of FADN data, the use of data and the cost effectiveness of FADN's. A mature level of strategic information management is a prerequisite for more flexible FADN's that are supplying data with high quality in a cost effective way.
