Using electronic communications between CA firms and clients

Almost all CA firms are communicating at least some information to their clients electronically, according to the CICA’s most recent Managing a Public Practice (MAPP) survey on computerization. Nearly all firms represented in the survey send e-mails (99%), PDFs (96%) and other correspondence (93%) to their clients electronically. Four out of five firms (80%) send corporate tax returns to clients electronically. Personal tax returns (82%) and financial statements (87%) are also sent electronically by more than 80% of firms. The results are from a broader three-part MAPP CA practice benchmark survey conducted biannually with the partners of CA firms across Canada.
