Facts

    Information technologies are having a dramatic impact on the way that commerce is conducted. Potentially, CPAs (and other accounting professionals) are affected by the technologies in three ways:

  1. Clients use the technologies to reengineer business processes, so CPAs must understand how the technologies affect their traditional services.

  2. Clients rely on CPAs as trusted business advisors who are uniquely positioned to consult about investments in information technologies.

  3. CPAs are in business and use the technologies to reengineer their professional practices.

Annually since 1990, the AICPA has polled its membership to identify the top technologies and  technology issues affecting accounting professionals.
