As accounting professionals, we are keenly aware of maintaining the confidentiality of client records. Our clients trust us with their most sensitive and personal information whether it’s accounting records, banking information or tax ID numbers.

Our worst nightmare is to have a security breach or otherwise compromise client information or worst yet have a fraud perpetrated against one or more clients due to our negligence.

In this age of technology and proliferation of mobile devices for easy access, we must educate ourselves and our clients about security of information.
