Business Management for Illiterate People

Hi,

I'm heavily involved in support micro business development and a key challenge we have always come across is how best to advise illiterate people on how to keep financial records, stock taking etc. What options are there beyond the more or less traditional approach of integrating literacy training into business management programs? In my experience literacy training often has low success rates and often people who have just learnt to read and write struggle to keep and update written business management tools straight away.

Thanks

Rob
