Article Abstract:

Electronic spreadsheets offer accountants greater flexibility, but many firms are reluctant to adopt information technology (IT) because of the difficulty in maintaining quality control. However, the rapid turnaround that is the hallmark of quality service necessitates the use of IT by accounting firms. Software packages are increasingly user-friendly and can greatly increase a firm's productivity, speed of production, and presentation quality.

Tolley's Tax Cases on Disk: is there a case for IT?

Article Abstract:

A hypothetical case is presented in which a computer-based tax case information system is compared to a book version of the same product. It is shown that an inadequately configured computer-based product may not necessarily offer any real price or convenience advantage over a hard copy product. The product in the hypothetical case is a body of tax law cases.
