  • AccountingToday: Many Firms Lack Formal Technology Plans

    April 9, 2012
    Accounting Today, 4/1/2012: Despite the interest in and need for improved information technology, particularly when it comes to data security, many CPA firms continue to lack any formal IT planning and tend to make software and technology decisions as needed throughout the year. These were some of the top findings of Accounting Today's 2012 Technology Outlook survey.

    From the KSCPA: Technology training is essential to enhanced productivity and security over systems within organizations. To help organizations appropriately train team members in an environment designed for experienced CPAs, the KSCPA teams up with K2 Enterprises to provide several courses and the annual Heartland Technology Conference in December. Check out the schedule on www.kscpa.org under Conferences & Courses.
