abstract: When chartered accountants focus on IT, it's not simply because we think technology is neat. We keep on top of tech trends and issues because it helps us do our jobs well. We need to know how to best manage and implement the wealth of technology systems within out client base or employer, as well as to determine on an ongoing basis how evolving technologies might affect business strategies, threats and opportunities.

Imagine the Internet as an endless conversation of millions of chattering voices, each focusing on a multitude of topics and issues. It's not surprising that a great deal of the information relates to technology itself, and if you learn how to tune in to the drumbeat, you can keep yourself informed
