What every accountant needs to know about secure information management

 

Document management specialists, Lindenhouse Software, announces the first definitive best practice guide to Electronic Document Management (EDM).

 

The Lindenhouse Best Practice Handbook has been produced in association with Accounting Web, the leading online community for accounting and finance professionals in the UK. It provides an invaluable update on the how firms can meet their responsibilities for quality assurance and abide by the key principles of data protection through the use of a new generation EDM system. 

 

A wealth of information in an easy to read format will save accountants hours of research time and bring them bang up-to-date on current legal requirements. The setting out of "appropriate technical and organisational measures" as required by the Information Commissioner's Office has posed a challenge since the Act was introduced. 

 

This Best Practice Handbook sets out the principles and techniques to provide an effective information backbone that meets ICO guidelines and deliver a better, more efficient service to clients.

 

The handbook includes:

• Information management basics

• European data protection proposals for 2014

• What to look for in an EDM system

• A glimpse of the future.

 

"New and emerging technology is changing the way accountants work and new capabilities are expanding the scope of what information management means," says Alison Jackson, Director, Lindenhouse Software. "The Lindenhouse Best Practice Handbook brings together for the first time how the key elements of EDM can help meet legal requirements and ensure the levels of accountability and traceability expected by practice assurance inspectors." With its Virtual Cabinet technology, Lindenhouse has supported hundreds of accountancy firms in their transition to EDM during the past five years. This guide draws directly from their experiences to support other practitioners who want to achieve similar efficiencies within their firms.
