Custom Software Packages
What if I use custom software?
If your business is using custom software, you may need to contact your software supplier and ask them what they are doing to comply with the new CPA standards. We can help with this process too. We will need a sample of your current cheque and we can make it CPA compliant.
Don't forget to let us know the computer print spacing: tenths 1/10 by sixths 1/6 or twelfths 1/12 by sixths 1/6, etc. We'll do the necessary changes and send you back a proof. Your software supplier can then use this proof to program the necessary changes.
