Top Technology Initiatives

The AICPA's 2009 Top Technology Initiatives

survey results are in! 

 

View a video about the 2009 Top Technology Initiatives survey results.

The AICPA's Top Technology Initiatives (TTI) survey celebrates its 20th anniversary and the Information Technology Membership Section requested,

for the first time, the participation of AICPA members to determine the 2009 list.

 

In prior years, voting was limited to an exclusive community of CPAs and IT professionals including the Information Technology Section members and CITP credential holders. Each year accounting professionals refer to the AICPA TTI list to learn about the technology initiatives that CPAs, and other technology experts who work closely with CPAs, anticipate will have the greatest influence on IT strategy, investment and implementation in the next twelve to eighteen months.

 

The initiatives included in the survey are intended to represent the CPA’s unique perspective regarding the initiatives they believe will impact financial management and the fulfillment of other fiduciary responsibilities such as safeguarding of business assets, oversight of business performance, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
