Constraints that are currently not fulfilled, but should be:

• every capital accounting transaction (i.e. where one side references a bank account) must be referenced by exactly one journal entry
• user accounts must be asset accounts
• fee accounts must be revenue accounts

The first point is very relevant. Right now you can create transactions for a bank finance account that are not referenced by a journal entry, both in the front end and the back end.

I propose a back end fix by subclassing FinanceAccount to get the following hierachical inheritance structure.

• FinanceAccount \ AssetAccount ** CapitalAccount * LiabilityAccount * RevenueAccount * ExpenseAccount

Or possibly even

• FinanceAccount \ BalanceAccount abstract * AssetAccount **\ CapitalAccount * LiabilityAccount \ ProfitLossAccount abstract * RevenueAccount * ExpenseAccount

and a CapitalTransaction
