If the rounding is important and it's done in a way that doesn't match the results THEY expect, you'll end up with some code to rewrite, and this one YOU CAN call statistical rounding: you used the algorithm dictated by the majority of your users.

However, 'they' told me to use mathematical rounding. It appeared 'they' didn't understand what that definition implies. (IMO, there's really only ONE correct rounding method that can be called 'mathematical rounding'.) Now I have been able to convince them: Either don't write 'mathematical rounding' in the functional design, or change the app (SAP/HR) on the receiving end. They decided to do the latter. :)
