That's where I see wiki technology as pivotal. It always shows the most up to date information without losing the threaded history behind it. This provides a more than adequate audit trail. An increasingly important ingredient when considering the issues around regulation.

Every organisation I have ever been in (and when I was auditing that was a lot) has network drives full of old word documents and spreadsheets (and powerpoint presentations, and legacy stuff that they can't even open any more) that will never ever see the light of day again. It is very rare to see an archive or disposal strategy. And it is common to see questions asked which can not be answered because the answer is locked up in those network drives! And that is before I start thinking about the data locked up in accounting apps. interest question “what is so special about that data?” – one that many never ask.

But to David's more general point - it always makes sense to ensure you know what you're buying into.

You define, and pay for, 'adequately'. Be sure that the deal covers the necessary transaction logging and backup to restore you ‘adequately’ in the event of a system failure.
