In Discussion Question 15-1 above, you discussed intranets and extranets, and identified the importance of each to accountants. Now, assume that you are a partner in a medium-sized, local CPA firm. Your firm has 4 partners, 10 staff accountants, 1 research assistant, and an administrative assistant. Your firm is considered a technology leader in the local area and you consider this a competitive advantage for your firm. At the weekly staff meeting next Friday you want to discuss the topic of developing an intranet for the firm. To be sure everyone is prepared to discuss this topic, you want to develop a ‘‘talking paper,’’ which is a one page summary of salient points that you want to be sure you cover in your presentation to everyone. Assume you are the research assistant and the partner asks you to prepare this one-page discussion aid.
