How CMAs use the Internet

Article Abstract:

A survey of certified management accountants (CMA) reveals that many of these professionals are aware of the Internet and are using it although they are likely not mining the technology's full potential. Results indicate that about 99% of the respondents use the computer for business purposes. However, only 51% had access to the Internet and 46% frequently navigate this network. The CMA surveyed reported that their companies are hesitant to use the Net because they are concerned about security problems and have not found any business justification for providing access. Computer use was primarily for spreadsheets (95%) and word processing (91%), with Internet access (51%) only a distance third. Electronic mail is employed by a majority (52%) for two hours every week. Internal e-mail communication targets are colleagues, bosses and subordinates. External e-mail was used to communicate with friends and relatives, corporate addressees, and customers.

Users can also resort to the Web as an intranet for their own accounting responsibilities, accessing FlexiPurchasing and FlexiLedger. FlexiInternational promises to offer the maximum potential of client/server accounting on the Internet by releasing application components distributed over the Internet and intranets.
