YES. Very much. For example you have to proof that the data once written is not 
changeable later.
Which is IMHO total non-sense, because you can always edit files on a hard 
disk. You can also edit a 
paper based accounting book - you just have to tell your secretary to write it 
again with changes X Y 
Z...

Finance Laws in Germany are world known for their complexity and sickness. If 
you want to do that for 
a market where the law is straight, just go ahead.

Helge: If you have specific questions, just call.
