Because of the incompatibility between naic and bivio, our
group has decided to maintain accounting on both programs
for a year. We had expected everything to be the same
between the two but. . . . even though our balances and
stock valuations are the same, our units are not because of
different methods of accounting.

My question is, is this a concern, or does it not really
matter?

Any discrepancies matter. There has to be a reason for them. One way
to compare would be to create a new club on bivio, import your NCA,
and compare your "real" bivio club with your freshly imported club.
Print out all the reports and compare them side by side. I'm sure
you'll come up with the reason for the discrepancy.

One issue may be that bivio doesn't have the distribution function.
This will affect the units, but shouldn't have any effect on taxes.
Read the following Trez Talk article to learn more:

Make sure you audit NCA before importing.

Please let us know what you find out. Email support when you'd like
us to delete your test club.

Cheers,
Rob
