For God and For Profit

From the Devs

500 years ago, where alchemists failed, the sage Luca Pacioli turned ink and paper into money. Apprentice under this sage and study how he learned the Midas touch.

Investigate and discover the ink and paper of those around you. Are they lying? What is an honest mistake, and what is cooking the books?

Can you trace a single coin through dusty tomes and aged ledgers to find where the trail runs cold?

KEEP THE BOOKS THE PACIOLI WAY.

• Waste book

• Journal

• Ledger

Using the double entry bookkeeping method written about in 15th century Venice that is inherited by modern accountants, as there is no innovation to new for accounting. 

LEARN BY DOING

Record each dealing as it happens, post it, and prove the balances before you close the books. 

Reconcile the accounts for clients that have ended in various states. 

Identify and catch fraud in an ancient system atop 15th century Venice.

Fraud leaves evidence, uncover it with your tools.

THE FLAME

The invoice says silk

Silk chars to a brittle ash. Cotton flares and is gone in a breath. Discover the truth where the ledger lies.

The Balance

A Ducat that is not quite a Ducat

Weigh the coin against the standard. Clipped coins weigh lighter, across a payment is theft.

The Mortar & Pestel

Saffron, or flower dressed as saffron?

Grind it, or steep it, truth is revealed in color. True saffron comes to a deep red; cut the batch it becomes gritty and pale.
