QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CPA ABOUT COMPUTER SYSTEMS
(Print This page)
When buying a
computer system, should I purchase the hardware or the
software first? How do I know
when it's time to upgrade my computer system? If I need to
upgrade my computer system should I opt for a series of
separate PCs or a local area network (LAN)? Currently, I
use my computer system for number crunching and word
processing. Can I use it to manage administrative, sales and
manufacturing procedures? How vulnerable
is my computer data? Do I need to take special precautions
to prevent tampering or loss due to accidents or
viruses? Considering the
price of PCs today, is it more cost-effective to buy or
lease them? Does the same hold true for the more expensive
mid-range computers? At what point
in my company's growth should I consider hiring a director
of information systems?
