It would seem sensible to change the application to require the current
date, rather than the whole system to change the application. 

And on a cautionary note: if your audit trail/system log has dates which
cannot be shown to be correct or relevant, and this will be the case if
you alter the system clock to suit the application, then you will have
difficulties relying on this elsewhere as a factual source of control
evidence. 

Finally if the system clock date is used to date transactions, and the
clock date is altered - to be the wrong day, you may find that you have
some legal implications concerning your transactions.

Subject: email dates


Hi,

Can someone advise me is it possible for the users to change the email
dates themselves? According to the IT, because the whole server has to
change the date to suit an application software in my company therefore
all the dates in the whole computer system have to change which include
the date of sending out an email. As a result an email sent on
31/12/2002 might be read as 3/1/2003 to the receiver which does not make
any sense.

Thanks in advance for all the advices.

Regards
Jessica
