Hi occtvs , I have edited your post to remove any inflammatory or misleading statements.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the change. I want to address the comment you have made about payroll slips and sensitive data.
The restriction of using MYOB software to distribute invoices unless a business is verified is not due to sensitive data and therefore is very different to payroll.
This change is a step to reducing invoice fraud, by ensuring that only a verified business is able to utilise the MYOB platform to send invoices to consumers in Australia. It further ensures that MYOB remains a trusted brand, aiming to reduce invoice fraud while the combining of secure payments also provides our customers with better protection as well.
The verification does not achieve this however, because MYOB users can still use the MYOB platform to email fraudulent invoices just, they have to invoice them via their own email package. So, this doesn't achieve your mission, MYOB will still be facilitating fraud. What I can tell you however is that for us at least, MYOB is no longer a trusted brand because of this verification process, the automatic turning on of your financial system which is ethically questionable.
