Why tax professionals should stop choosing convenience over security
USING multiple channels to collaborate with clients could lead to data breaches and financial losses, according to a new survey commissioned by Ideagen Plc.According to the survey, of 547 accounting and advisory professionals in the UK and US, tax professionals are predominately choosing convenience over security when sharing files with clients and each other. Email and Microsoft Teams were found to be the most used file sharing methods among tax specialists, due to their convenience and ease of use, despite the fact 82 per cent have use of a client portal within their organisation.
