new accounting system but had not fully utilized the system. Then the

result of entries not being posted and the lack of control over operation

causing a loss of $570K through credit card transactions not being

recorded or deposited. The financial package was not reliable and I had to

balance the system which took several days. The accounting system that had

been abandoned proved to be rather robust and remained as the system to be

utilized by the casino.
