If you're doing a financial application, it's important that you address
this correctly: fast but giving the wrong answer isn't an option.

I have worked on some systems where the front end gave one figure, but the
back end reporting function gave another because this wasn't properly
addressed..

As a financial application developer, it's surprising you weren't already
aware of the inaccuracy of floating point.
