Get wired! A primer for unlocking the mysteries of online services, bulletin board systems and the Internet

Article Abstract:

Chartered accountants (CAs) who access online services can refer to a vast realm of information that can be used to improve the quality of client service. To go online, all they need is a personal computer (PC), a modem, a telephone line and a credit card. Two basic types of research can be conducted by CAs in the online universe: knowledge retrieval and knowledge networking. A good place for them to start would be the CA-Xchange. Local bulletin boards, online databases, the Internet and the Compuserve service are other important online channels that CAs may find useful.

Major changes in corporate strategy will be difficult to accomplish because of their inevitable impact on every aspect of the organization.
