You are right!. The last time I visited an accounting firm, they had everything locked down. Every system had a unique password with a 5 minute timeout on the screen saver (Automatic Log off was not a good option as it consistently lost work in progress).  Nobody had access to anything that wasn't specifically required for their job. The managers affirmed that "If an employee doesn't need something, the don't have access to it. Period."


I noticed they had something else in place: A way to electronically access and exchange information directly with more than 3000 clients at any time, in any format which they and the client can arrange.


Risky? What would a bunch of accountants know? Go figure.
