[1] transfer the accounting data to the chartered accountant

we are trying to just avoid this and ask the chartered accuntant to work with OpenERP .
as none of these companies offer a comprehensive ERP there seems to be a huge market for OpenERP, but for this OpenERP has to comply to accepted accounting rules.

Bug description:
IMHO a serious accounting issue

./account.py:        'update_posted': fields.boolean('Allow Cancelling Entries', help="Check this box if you want to allow the cancellation the entries related to this journal or of the invoice related to this journal"),

what happens is that account_move and account_move_lines are deleted (not canceled).

http://www.iwp.or.at/Documents/GS-DV01.pdf (German) describes the basics of accounting and clearly states that
* 1.4 on page 7, that posted entries may not be altered in a way that the original posting can't be reproduced.

violating this principle might or will lead to the fact that the accounting can't be audited and will not be accepted by the fiscal authorities.
it will create gaps in ids as well as in name/ref fields and nobody will ever be able to reconstruct what happens as audittrail on account_move_line does not work (see other bug report) either

This should be clearly stated in the description.

Cancelling invoices must lead to an additional move with move_lines which revert the original move_lines. 
This and only this is the "normal" way which is accepted by fiscal authorities (at least here in Austria)
