Five Easy Ways to Keep Client Data Safe
Your clients trust you to prepare their tax returns and advise them on sensitive financial topics. They also trust you with data that needs to be properly safeguarded against online criminal behavior. There are actually a lot of things that you can do to ensure that confidential data remains confidential, with many of the suggestions, such as shredding all paper documents, easily accomplished. But there are other ways to safeguard firm data and to keep it out of the hands of criminals.
1. Install the proper safeguards
These safeguards include both anti-virus software and malware scanners. Both are designed to identify and stop threats to your computer system before they happen, and both are necessary to keep your data secure at all times.
2. Provide the necessary training to all team members
Your staff are accountants, not IT people, so they may not recognize a threat when they are presented with one. Keeping everyone up to speed on the latest threats can help keep your company data safe. A good idea is to have all employees go through some initial training as part of an employee onboarding process, with a refresher course taking place at least every six months, since threats change and evolve quickly.
3. Use complicated passwords
This goes for everyone that has access to a computer. Set parameters for passwords, such as making them a certain length. It’s also helpful to require symbols, lower case and upper-case letters, and numbers. While many of us tend to create passwords that are easily remembered, the more complicated the password, the less likely it is to be guessed by online criminals. But even a complicated password may not be enough (see #4).
4. Require multi-factor authentication on everything that requires a password
Today, it may not be enough to use a complex password. That’s why multi-factor authentication is a great idea. Multi-factor authentication requires you to input a passcode that is delivered through an outside system such as your cellphone or email. This helps identify the person attempting to access the system. On a side note, multi-factor authentication has saved me several times when hackers gained access to my apps using a stolen password. It may save you from a potentially catastrophic data breach as well.
5. Manage application accessibility
Managing application accessibility should start with the onboarding process. Remember, not every employee needs or should have access to all applications. Properly managing application access also means that terminated employees need to have their login and password privileges revoked once they leave.
There are other ways to keep your data safe from hackers, including using an online portal to communicate with your clients. A secure online portal allows you and your clients to share sensitive information, eliminating the need to share confidential documents through less secure means.
Your clients have put your trust in you and your firm. Make sure that you’re offering the proper safeguards for keeping their data safe.

الروبوتات ليسوا محاسبين!
كُتب الكثير في العام الماضي عن أتمتة العمليات الروبوتية (RPA)، ولسبب وجيه. من خلال تسهيل التكامل الأوسع للأنظمة المالية المتباينة وتطبيقات البرامج، يُعد RPA مزيد من الكفاءة لمؤسسات التمويل والمحاسبة. ولكن هل الروبوتات بديل للمحاسبين كما أثبتت بعض المقالات؟

Much has been written in the last year about robotic process automation (RPA), and for good reason. By facilitating broader integration of disparate financial systems and software applications, RPA promises more efficiency to finance and accounting organizations. But are robots a substitute for accountants, as some articles have attested? Not by a long shot.
RPA captures, manipulates and interprets transactional data flowing from myriad IT systems and applications, effectively taking these repetitive tasks from accountants. That’s a good thing, as it frees up the accounting staff to become strategic accountants. The “robots” liberate accountants to do what they have longed to do — make sense of the financial data to improve business decisions.
RPA is just the latest iteration in a long progression of F&A software tools designed to improve efficiency and data accuracy, including our own here at BlackLine. RPA extends the automated functionality of ERP systems beyond the range of application programming interfaces (commonly known as APIs) and simple object access protocol, which are used to integrate the ERP system with other IT applications. Instead of the customary weeks it takes to link these systems, RPA pares the time down to a matter of days.
Trends and Technologies Shaping the Future of Tax and Accounting
WOLTERS KLUWER
There are some studies, such as that by the Hackett Group, that suggest that automated tools may lead to a reduction in headcount. But robo-accountants are not actual accountants. Despite the enormous power and promise of digital solutions, there will always be a need for the human connection. Robots may replicate what people do, but they are unemotional, have no intuition and cannot be motivated in a common cause. They’re simply machines making routine work easier and more efficient.
Turning dislocation into transformation
Today’s accountants should not fear automation; rather, they should embrace these tools to become strategic accountants. When machines replace traditional forms of work, they simultaneously open the door to other options. People are liberated to be more creative, engaged and productive. Let the robots handle rote administrative processing. Accountants’ skills are far too nuanced to squander on such tasks.
A case in point is the competitive advantage of extracting deeper meaning from internal and exogenous financial data. The internet is inundated with millions of data sets that may have import in business decisions. Software can narrow the field, but someone has to interpret the data to determine where best to grow the business or pull back.
Accountants can perform this function, filtering and analyzing internal and exogenous business-related data to assist the CFO in making more informed and agile decisions. Armed with the accountants’ analyses, the CFO can make more astute bets on where to invest the company’s capital and where to restrict it.
The office of finance has always been the nexus of financial and other business-related data. In today’s blisteringly fast 24/7 global business environment, where change can happen overnight, this information is a vital currency that can improve market share, reduce strategic risks and widen margins. The problem is that CFOs have relied on purely historical business data in making resource allocation and other financial decisions. Accountants are an untapped resource to help make rapid sense of today’s numbers to ensure the company remains on course to achieve its strategic objectives. If this is not the case, the CFO has an enhanced opportunity to nimbly change direction to seize more profitable business opportunities elsewhere.
Do CFOs require such assistance? You bet they do. In a 2016 survey of 122 CFOs at large companies by Deloitte, the respondents stated that they spend more than one quarter (27 percent) of their time on company strategy. An equal amount of time is devoted to operations, identifying ways to improve organizational efficiency, balance costs and manage issues related to talent. Less than one quarter of the CFOs’ time is focused on traditional finance functions, such as accounting and financial reporting and control requirements.

Every profession has its unique challenges. The accounting industry is no different. Let’s look at the top 7 issues accountants face today and how to overcome them.
CHALLENGES ACCOUNTANTS FACE
Are Accountants Still Relevant?
Yes, accountants are still relevant, but the profession is definitely changing. Precipitated by the increased use of cloud accounting technology, accounts are becoming even more technical. Today, the modern accountant is chiefly an advisor, which is the greatest value of this position. Because technology is making things like data entry, bank reconciliations, and billing way more streamlined, this means less focus on entering numbers.
Instead, automated accounting tools give accountants more to analyze and report these numbers. Accountants are actually going to be in higher demand for their value in helping companies make stronger, effective business decisions. Many accountants find success in three main career directions, which you can learn about in our recent webinar, but there are still challenges and issues accountants face. Staying relevant and powerful as an accountant requires adaptability.
Top Issues Facing the Accounting Industry in 2022
The biggest issues accountants face will range individually of course, but much of it will involve technology and growing competition.
Follow along for 7 of the biggest threats and issues to the accounting profession, as well as some insights on how you and your accounting department can best overcome these challenges.
1. Lack Of IT Literacy in the Accounting Field
If you’ve been following accounting current events, the role of an accountant has steadily grown more technical. So much so that failure to adapt to cloud technology could pose a serious threat to an accountant’s job security. Now more than ever, cloud-based accounting systems are being used both in the office and remotely. Finances are going fully digital. One of the biggest challenges accountants face is being able to use cloud accounting software and operate efficiently in a cloud environment. The importance of storing and analyzing financial data from multiple business applications is also playing an increased role. Defining which business tools need to communicate to the accounting solution and what data needs to be monitored is critical for a complete financial picture of the business.
For more details on why IT implementations in accounting departments go poorly so regularly, read on in the Why Accounting IT Implementations Fail guide.
2. Accounting Automation
Related to technology, automation is going to be a challenge for accountants, but not in a way that will eliminate their profession. Automation and even AI will not replace but actually enhance the accountant’s role if they can successfully deploy and use these tools. One of the big challenges for financial experts is being able to harness more automated functions to enhance the value of accounting processes.
To learn more about how to leverage accounting software to automate, read on in our Top 13 Benefits of Automated Accounting and What is Accounting Automation Post-COVID-19 guides.
3. Changing Client Relations For CPAs And Accounting Firms
Competition is always a challenge for financial experts, whether they’re solo Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) or accounting firms. With companies’ resources stretched following the business setbacks of COVID-19, they need accurate accounting insight and a smooth experience.
Developing customer loyalty based on positive client experience is critical. Not only will this help accountants provide better, more effective service, it also strengthens the customer bonds. To overcome this, accountants will need accounting features that improve customer experience.
4. The Accounting Profession Has New Skill Requirements
In addition to new technology requirements and pure accounting knowledge, accountants are facing a much more interconnected world. This means wearing multiple hats to understand how the financial picture is drawn. Specifically, this means becoming more adept in understanding business requirements, processes, and even customer behavior. Today the accountant is less about bookkeeping and more about data analytics.
In an uncertain economy, businesses need accurate, informed financial insight to save money and make the best decisions possible. Financial forecasting, financial analysis, and cash flow projection proficiency are critical skills to have now. The more proficient accountants are in these skills, the more valuable they become. Additionally, being able to create dynamic financial and business reports that answer exactly what the company needs to achieve key objectives are important.
Learn more about how Financial Dashboards can help.
5. Tax Laws are Ever Changing
A constant challenge for accountants is keeping up with tax regulations. All levels of accountants and CPAs should be mindful of changes and be able to use accounting technology and tax management systems to handle taxes online. Digital tax requirements like the UK’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) are growing across the world. Therefore, it’s important for accountants to be familiar with the tech and strategies involved.
With tax accounting software, the software is built to be compliant, meaning you won’t need to spend time considering government regulations. You’ll also save time on calculating sales tax, as it is automatically as transactions are completed.
6. Rising Competition In The Accounting Field
Competition poses a threat to those in the accounting profession. Accounting departments in companies seem to be shrinking in favor of external accounting services. Many accounting agencies also concentrate on specialized accounting skills like financial analytics and nonprofit accounting.
To keep up with your competitors, consider using accounting software to automate workflows related to previously tedious tasks like billing customers and paying vendors. Freeing up time will allow you to focus on keeping your current clients happy, and growing your client list.
7. Keeping Financial Data Secure
Internal and external accounting system threats like ransomware attacks are very prominent and will only pose a more serious threat in the future. Significant hacking and fraud incidents have been steadily increasing, with spikes since the workforce went remote during the COVID-19 lockdowns. For accountants, the challenge is implementing processes and tools to protect data. Remember, accounting errors and data theft have caused many businesses to actually fail. However, while these digital challenges remain, the advantage for accountants is in knowing the features and internal controls needed to protect financial data.

Get Ahead With The Right Accounting Platform
Whether you’re an individual accountant or accounting firm, you will thrive or struggle based on your accounting system. When you search for a solution, really consider how it will let you collect, visualize, and analyze financial data. Your system should help them do your job without skipping a beat and be flexible in a way to help your function and draw financial insight however you need. Here are a few key considerations when looking for the best accounting system for accountants to utilize.
Does the system provide an audit trail function to track specific information?
Is the accounting platform easy to use and adaptable to business needs?
How efficient are accounting processes?
What’s the level of automation?
How flexible and robust are the reporting features?
Are there security features that fully protect the data?

The whole world is talking about data right now. Data is not new to accounting, but what you do with it is a hot topic. The question many ask as they look to be more advisory is how to present financial information to clients without their eyes glazing over.
Even the best accountants and advisors can get lost in the numbers, which obviously don’t mean anything if the customer doesn’t understand them. Whether you’re talking to one person or a board of directors, you want to bring your facts and figures to life.
But first, why?

It’s a simple question, but also a loaded one. There are still accountants who don’t feel like they need to be effective communicators, believe it or not. But technology has sort of caught up to all the number-crunching. Today, we no longer need to be the best at inputting or charting the numbers, we need to be better communicators.
“Most accountants don’t realize that they are speaking a foreign language and that foreign language is accounting,” said Peter Margarits, The Accidental Accountant. “And it takes a long time to master that foreign language.”
No wonder other people don’t find data as exciting as we do!
Keep it simple, stupid
Accountants can get stuck in their technical jargon easily because it’s where we live each and every day. We’re talking to our team and they get it. So it’s easy to forget that our business owners can look like a deer in the headlights. We need to make it simpler.
“We as accountants ... love to give them everything we think they want and then more. And I challenge accountants to think like Lincoln,” Margaritis said.
Remember how the Gettysburg address was so memorable but only about five minutes long? There was a guy who spoke before Lincoln that day — for two hours, Margaritis shared. No one really remembers that part.
“What information does your client need? Get out from behind your desk and find the story in the numbers,” he said.
Now, if you’re saying to yourself, “But Jody, we don’t have the full story because we only see the financial statement” — that’s true. So flip the conversation as if you’re a three-year-old. Margaritis shares the following sample questions:
“Why?”
“Why did this happen?”
Can you tell me more?”
“Why did this number change so dramatically from last period?”
“What happened within the business?”
Find the story behind the numbers by developing that client relationship. It will come over time but be ready to push a little when you need to. Even if the client seems to be getting a little defensive, Margaritis suggests reminding yourself to dig deeper because something’s there.
And this approach is more consultative than simply delivering the financial statement, which is where we want to evolve as a profession anyway.
How do I get comfortable?
Many accountants don’t consider themselves extroverted enough to be comfortable asking all sorts of questions of their clients. How to become comfortable having these types of conversations begins with getting out of that comfort zone, Margaritis said. Begin to accept failure, because you will probably say something wrong at some point.
“Overprepare,” he said. “And when we walk into a room, we throw that script away and we go off script because we’re trying to engage with the audience and have this conversation.”
He likened it to improv comedy, but that does take time, practice and effort. Don’t be discouraged.
Let’s have that conversation now
Now that you’ve overprepared, you totally rock the conversation with your client. It’s time to go back into your firm and present to your colleagues or the partner group. So many people are afraid of public speaking, but it’s necessary to move up within a firm.
Margaritis said to think of these internal firm-facing presentations as just another conversation. Because really, the conversation with the client was a presentation, just not how we’re normally used to thinking about it. Work on developing the presence of mind to free yourself, open up to questions and react to conversations and whatever else is thrown at you.
And “Don’t forget to breathe,” he said. “I know it sounds kind of weird, but we panic. We become shallow breathers.”
What happens next is that basically you’re restricting oxygen to your brain, and that causes you to fumble your words.
Anyone currently uncomfortable telling stories with numbers and presenting to a group or to a client should be careful not to “eat the whole elephant,” Margaritis advises.
“Pick one thing at a time for 30 to 60 days that we want to improve or start developing a habit. And then start working on another one and just continue to practice doing it every day,” he said.
Basically, do this until that one thing becomes part of your DNA. The process of including micro-habits in a daily routine is pretty similar to this.
It’s so important for accountants to continue to evolve so we can remain relevant in the future. The numbers will always be there. The stories can be harder to find but are much more valuable to our clients.
