But of auditing and accounting work we should require data. Most of the times data are on hard copies. And data cant available in soft copies. Very few clients and handy with online data in soft copies, but maximum peoples are habitual of hard copies. In COVID 19 we have to aware clients to share the data maximum in soft copies. For sharing soft copies we require the educated staff as the data received are stored in properly folder of client data maintained at Server. High-quality Server and Internet not available. Our maximum works, server machines are at our office place and we cant visiting to our offices.
