What It Means:
Accounting professionals can play an important role in many successful businesses. One of the more important contributions is

Accounting professionals can draw upon a variety of technical resources. They can use Internet technologies and financial
electronic commerce as tools in the accounting process and in the context of accounting cycles. In fact, today's accounting
professionals use technical knowledge to perform most of the day-to-day tasks in today's digital marketplace.
