Institute Launches New IT Web Site

The American Institute of CPAs has introduced a new Web site for the information technology community, www.aicpa.org/infotech, a portal containing resources, tools and guidance for CPAs interested in or performing IT functions. Information is broken up into five tabs on the new site:Resources, Community, Events, Membership and Products. Within those fields, users are able to share their experiences on best practices, get new product updates and strategies, and learn more about the AICPA's Certified Information Technology Professional credential. Members of the AICPA IT Membership section and CITP credentialed accountants can access technical and practice management content on the site and obtain discounts on AICPA conferences, publications and practice aids. "Our goal was to provide an online resource for all CPAs in the IT community, whether they are in business and industry, academia, government or public practice," said James Metzler, AICPA vice president of small firm interests, in a statement.
